Bei einer Trauung

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE FRE HEB ITA SPA

Vor lauter hochadligen Zeugen
copuliert man ihrer Zwei;
die Orgel hängt voll Geigen,
der Himmel nicht, mein' Treu!

Seht doch, sie weint ja greulich,
er macht ein Gesicht abscheulich!
Denn leider freilich, freilich
keine Lieb' ist nicht dabei.

A un casament

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

Davant testimonis de l’alta noblesa
dos s’estan casant,
l’orgue anticipa benaurança
però no el cel, ai Déu!

Mireu, ella plora terriblement
i ell fa molt mala cara!
Car malauradament és clar, és clar,
que aquí no hi ha amor.
