Ich ging bei Nacht einst über Land,
ein Bürschlein traf ich draußen,
das hat 'nen Stutzen in der Hand
und zielt auf mich voll Grausen.
Ich renne, da ich mich erbos',
auf ihn in vollem Rasen,
da drückt das kecke Bürschlein los
und ich stürzt' auf die Nasen.
Er aber lacht mir ins Gesicht,
daß er mich angeschossen,
Cupido war der kleine Wicht
das hat mich sehr verdrossen.

Infortuni
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Temps ha, anava de nit pel camp
i, allà fora, em vaig trobar un bordegàs
que portava una carrabina a la mà
i m'apuntava hostilment.
Com que em va fer emprenyar, vaig córrer
al seu encontre ple de ràbia,
llavors l'agosarat brivall va disparar
i jo caigué nas a terra.
Ell però em va riure a la cara
per haver-me disparat,
Cupido era aquell homenet
i això em va fer enfadar molt.
