(Sung text for setting by H. Eisler)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Froh kehrt der Schiffer heim an den stillen Strome
   Von fernen Inseln, wo er geerntet hat;
      Wohl möchte ich gern zur Heimat wieder;
         Aber was hab' ich, wie Leid, geerntet? -
 
Ihr holden Ufer, die ihr mich auferzogt,
   Ach! gebt ihr mir,
      Ihr Wälder meiner Kindheit, wann ich
         wiederkehre, die Ruhe noch Einmal wieder?

Terra natal

(Sung text translation for setting by H. Eisler)

See original

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

Joiós torna a casa el navegant pel riu tranquil,
ve d'illes llunyanes on ell ha fet la collita;
jo voldria també ara tornar a casa;
però què he collit jo que no siguin penes?

Vosaltres, plaents ribatges que m'heu vist créixer,
podríeu apaivagar les penes d'amor?
Ai! Si tornés, vosaltres, boscos de la meva infantesa, 
podríeu, de nou, retornar-me la pau?
