Dauernde Liebe

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT FRE

Mein Schatz, ich hab es erfahren,
Daß du willst scheiden von mir;
Tu mir die Ursache sagen,
Was ich getan hab dir?
 
Kann dir kein Ursache sagen,
weiß weder Zeit noch Stund;
komm ich in fremde Lande,
gar bald vergeß ich dein!
 
Und als er kam in die Fremde,
dacht er noch etliche Mal:
"Muß wied'r einmal nach Hause,
Muß halten mein ehrliches Wort!"
 
Und als er wieder nach Hause kam,
Feinsliebchen stand vor der Tür:
"Gott grüße dich, mein Schätzchen,
Sehn wir einander hier?"
 
Was tat er ihr bald schenken?
Ein schön Goldringelein.
Was schenket sie ihm bald wieder?
Ein schön Goldkränzelein.
 
Womit war es gebunden?
Mit lauter Liebesband.
Wohl mit Jelängerjelieber,
von Gottes Vaterhand.

Amor fidel

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

Tresor meu, m’he assabentat
de què et vols separar de mi;
em pots dir el motiu,
o què t’he fet?

Et puc dir el motiu,
no sé el moment ni l’hora;
me’n vaig a terra estrangera,
aviat t’hauré oblidat!

I quan ell arribà a l’estranger,
pensà més d’una vegada:
“Un dia haig de tornar a casa,
haig de mantenir la meva paraula d’honor!”

I quan ell tornà a casa,
la seva formosa estimada era davant la porta:
“Que Déu et guardi, tresor meu,
ens tornem a veure aquí?”

Què li regalà ell a no trigar?
Un bonic anell d’or.
Què li regalà ella en escanvi?
Una bonica corona d’or.

Amb què estava lligada?
Amb una cinta d’amor sincer.
Ben bé amb lligabosc
de la mà paternal de Déu.
