Alle Mädchen erwarten wen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT ENG FRE
Alle Mädchen erwarten wen,
wenn die Bäume in Blüten stehn;
wir müssen immer näh'n und näh'n,
bis uns die Augen brennen.
Unser Singen wird nimmer froh,
fürchten uns vor dem Frühling so:
finden wir einmal ihn irgendwo,
wird er uns nicht mehr erkennen.

Totes les noies l’esperen
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Totes les noies l’esperen,
quan els arbres han florit;
sempre hem de cosir i cosir,
fins que ens couen els ulls.
Els nostres cants mai no seran alegres,
ens fa por la primavera:
si mai el trobem en algun lloc,
ja no ens reconeixerà.
