Röselein, Röselein,
Müssen denn Dornen sein?
Schlief am schatt'gen Bächelein
Einst zu süssem Träumen ein,
Sah in goldner Sonne-Schein
Dornenlos ein Röselein,
Pflückt' es auch und küsst' es fein,
"Dornloses Röselein!"

Ich erwacht' und schaute drein:
"Hatt' ich's doch! wo mag es sein?"
Rings im weiten Sonnenschein
Standen nur Dornröselein!
Und das Bächlein lachte mein:
"Lass du nur dein Träumen sein!
Merk' dir's fein, merk' dir's fein,
Dornröslein müssen sein!"

Petita rosa, petita rosa
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Petita rosa, petita rosa,
has de tenir espines?
Un cop em vaig adormir prop del rierol ombriu
i vaig tenir un dolç somni
en el que, a l’auri esclat del sol,
vaig veure una petita rosa sense espines,
la vaig collir i la vaig besar delicadament.
“Una rosa sense espines!”

Em vaig despertar i vaig mirar a l’entorn:
“Però si jo la tenia! On pot estar?”
Tot al voltant, a la plena llum del sol
només hi havia roses amb espines!
I el rierol se’n rigué de mi:
“Deixa estar el teu somni!
Remarca-ho bé, assabenta-te’n,
les roses han de tenir espines!”
