Lieb' Liebchen, leg's Händchen aufs Herze mein; -
Ach, hörst du, wie's pochet im Kämmerlein?
Da hauset ein Zimmermann schlimm und arg,
Der zimmert mir einen Totensarg.

Es hämmert und klopfet bei Tag und bei Nacht;
Es hat mich schon längst um den Schlaf gebracht.
Ach! sputet Euch, Meister Zimmermann,
Damit ich bald schlafen kann.

Amor meu, posa la mà damunt del meu cor;

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Lachner)

See original

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

Amor meu, posa la mà damunt del meu cor; --
ah, el sents com batega en la seva petita cambra?
Allà, un fuster dolent i maligne,
m’està fent un taüt.

Amartella i colpeja dia i nit;
ja fa molt de temps que m’ha tret el son.
Ai! afanyeu-vos, mestre fuster
perquè aviat pugui dormir.
