(Sung text for setting by R. Leberl)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

Derweil ich eben lag,
Ein Stündlein wohl vor Tag,
Sang vor dem Fenster auf dem Baum
Ein Schwälblein mir, ich hört' es kaum
Ein Stündlein wohl vor Tag:

"Hör an, was ich dir sag'!
Dein Schätzlein ich verklag':
Derweil ich eben singen tu',
Herzt er ein Lieb in guter Ruh,
Ein Stündlein wohl vor Tag."

O weh! nicht weiter sag'!
O still! nichts hören mag!
Flieg ab von meinem Baum!
-- Ach, Lieb' und Treu' ist wie im Traum
Ein Stündlein wohl vor Tag.

Una horeta abans que apunti el dia

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Leberl)

See original

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Mentre jeia dormint,
una horeta abans que apunti el dia,
a l’arbre davant la meva finestra,
una oreneta em cantà, jo a penes la sentia,
una horeta abans que apunti el dia.

“Escolta bé el que et dic,
jo acuso el teu estimat:
mentre jo faig aquest cant
ell, ben tranquil, n’està abraçant una altra,
una horeta abans que apunti el dia.”

Oh, desgràcia, no diguis res més!
Calla! No en vull sentir més!
Ves-te’n, ves-te’n del meu arbre!
Ai, amor i fidelitat no són més que un somni,
una horeta abans que el dia apunti.
