Unüberwindlich
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE FRL
Hab' ich tausendmal geschworen
Dieser Flasche nicht zu trauen,
Bin ich doch wie neugeboren,
Läßt mein Schenke fern [sie]1 schauen.
Alles ist an ihr zu loben,
Glaskristall und Purpurwein;
Wird der Propf herausgehoben,
Sie ist leer und ich nicht mein.
Hab' ich tausendmal geschworen,
Dieser [Falschen]2 nicht zu trauen,
Und doch bin ich neugeboren,
Läßt sie sich ins Auge schauen.
Mag sie doch mit mir verfahren,
Wie's dem stärksten Mann geschah.
Deine Scher' in meinen Haaren,
Allerliebste Delila!

Invencible
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
He jurat mil vegades
de no refiar-me d’aquesta ampolla,
però em sento com un nou nat,
quan de lluny, el meu taverner me la deixa veure.
Tot en ella és per ser elogiat,
vidre de cristall i vi color de porpra;
però quan se li ha tret el tap,
ella es buida i jo no sóc el mateix.
He jurat mil vegades
de no refiar-me d’aquesta ampolla,
però em sento com un nou nat,
quan ella es deixa veure.
Ella em pot ben tractar
com el més fort dels homes.
Les teves tisores són als meus cabells,
molt estimada Dalila!
