Liebe Schwalbe, kleine Schwalbe
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Liebe Schwalbe, kleine Schwalbe, Du fliegst auf und singst so früh, Streuest durch die Himmelsbläue Deine süße Melodie. Die da schlafen noch am Morgen, Alle Liebenden in Ruh', Mit dem zwitschernden Gesange Die Versunk'nen weckest du. Auf! nun auf! ihr Liebesschläfer, Weil die Morgenschwalbe rief: Denn die Nacht wird den betrügen, Der den hellen Tag verschlief.

Estimada oreneta, petita oreneta
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Estimada oreneta, petita oreneta, arrenques el vol i cantes de bon matí, escampant per l’atzur del cel la teva dolça melodia. Als que encara dormen al matí, a tots els amants que reposen, amb els teus refilets, els despertes de llur son profund. Lleveu-vos! Ara! Amants dormilegues, així que l’oreneta us crida: car la nit enganyarà al que dormí durant el dia.
