Trinklied

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT

Die Rechte hebt den Maienwein
[Narzisse]¹ in der Linken!
Ich will ein frommer Zecher sein
Und gottesfürchtig trinken.

Wie schön [leucht't]² mir der Morgenstern
Der lieblichen Narzisse!
Ich flehe opferfroh zum Herrn
Und Liebchens Erstlingsküsse.

Für solcher Trank ich solchen Lohn
Zu fordern mich erdreiste --
Lob sei dem Vater und dem Sohn
Sowie dem [heil'gen]³ Geiste!

Cançó bàquica

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

Amb la dreta aixeco el vi de maig,
narcisos a l'esquerra!
Vull ser un bevedor pietòs
I beure temerós de Déu.

Què  bells lluen amb l'estel del matí
els estimats narcisos!
Prego i ofereixo content al Senyor
I a Ia l'estimada el primer bes. 

Per a tal copa m'atreveixo
a oferir tal recompensa...
Lloat sigui el Pare i el Fill
com l'Esperit Sant!
