Gruß

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE FRE ITA SPA
Wohin ich geh' und schaue,
In Feld und Wald und Tal,
Vom Berg hinab in die Aue;
Viel schöne, hohe Fraue, 
Grüß ich dich tausendmal.

In meinem Garten find' ich
Viel Blümchen, schön und fein, 
Viel Kränze wohl draus wind' ich
Und tausend Gedanken bind' ich
Und Grüße mit darein.

Ihr darf ich keinen reichen,
Sie ist zu hoch und schön,
Die müssen alle verbleichen,
Die Liebe nur ohnegleichen
Bleibt ewig im Herzen stehn.

Arreu on vaig i esguardo
 (Sung text translation for setting by F. Mendelssohn)
 See original
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Arreu on vaig i esguardo,
als camps, boscos i valls,
des de les muntanyes, cap baix a les prades;
bellíssima i noble senyora,
et saludo mil vegades.

Al meu jardí trobo
moltes flors, boniques i delicades,
amb les que de grat treno garlandes
en les que hi entrellaço
mil pensaments i salutacions.

A ella no li en puc donar cap,
és massa noble i bella,
totes s’han de marcir,
només un amor sense parió
resta per sempre al cor.
