Frohsinn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Wenn ich ein Vögleich seh',
möcht' mit ihm singen;
wenn ich ein Lämmlein seh',
möcht' mit ihm springen.

Seh' ich ein Würmchen klein,
möcht' ich es schonen;
seh' ich ein Häuschen fein,
möcht'ich drin wohnen.

Wenn ich ein Blümchen seh',
möcht' ich mich schmücken;
wenn ich ein Bäumchen seh',
möcht' ich es pflücken.

Wenn ich ein Sträuchlein seh',
möcht' ich es pflanzen;
seh'ich 'nen Schmetterling,
möcht' mit ihm tanzen.

Wenn ich ein Mägdlein seh',
möcht' ich es lieben.

Geni alegre
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Quan veig un ocellet
voldria cantar amb ell;
quan veig un petit anyell,
voldria saltar amb ell.

Quan veig un cuc de terra,
voldria tenir cura d’ell;
quan veig una bonica caseta,
hi voldria viure.

[...
...
...
...]

Quan veig un petit arbust,
el voldria plantar;
quan veig una papallona,
voldria ballar amb ella.

Quan veig una noia,
la voldria estimar.
