O wär' dein Haus durchsichtig wie ein Glas,
Mein Holder, wenn ich mich vorüberstehle!
Dann säh' ich drinnen dich ohn' Unterlaß,
Wie blickt' ich dann nach dir mit ganzer Seele!
Wie viele Blicke schickte dir mein Herz,
Mehr als da Tropfen hat der Fluß im März!
Wie viele Blicke schickt' ich dir entgegen,
Mehr als da Tropfen niedersprühn im Regen!

Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Oh, si la teva casa fos transparent com el vidre,
estimat meu, quan furtivament passo pel davant!
Llavors et veuria a dins constantment,
com t’esguardaria amb tota la meva ànima!
Quants esguards t’enviaria el meu cor,
més que gotes d’aigua d’un riu al mes de març!
Quants esguards t’enviaria,
més que gotes d’aigua de la pluja que cau!
