Wenn die kleinen Kinder beten
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT ENG FRE
Wenn die kleinen Kinder beten,
hören all die Sternlein zu,
und die Englein alle treten
leis' herzu auf goldnem Schuh!
Lauschen auf des Kindes Worte,
schließen tief ins Herz sie ein,
tragen durch die Himmelspforte
sie zum lieben Gott hinein.

Quan els petits infants preguen
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Quan els petits infants preguen,
totes les estrelles escolten,
i els angelets s’atansen
suaument amb sabates d’or!
Ells escolten les paraules dels infants,
les serven al fons de llur cor
i les duen cap dins de la porta del cel
vers Déu Nostre Senyor.
