Dir angetrauet am Altare,
O Vaterland, wie bin ich dein!
Laß für das Rechte mich und Wahre
Nun Priester oder Opfer sein!

Geuß auf mein Haupt, Herr, deine Schale,
Ein köstlich Öl des Friedens, aus,
Daß ich wie eine Sonne strahle
Dem Vaterland und meinem Haus!

El rei al seu coronament

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

Esposat amb tu a l’altar,
oh pàtria meva, jo sóc teu!
Deixa’m, per la justícia i la veritat,
ser ara sacrificador o víctima.

Vessa sobre el meu cap, oh Senyor, el teu calze,
del tot, amb el preciós oli de la pau,
per què jo pugi brillar com un sol,
per a la meva pàtria i la meva dinastia!
