Du meines Herzens Krönelein, du bist von lautrem Golde:
  Wenn andere daneben sein, dann bist du [erst]1 viel holde.
  Die andern tun so gern gescheit, du bist gar sanft und stille;
  Daß jedes Herz sich dein erfreut, dein Glück ist's, nicht dein Wille.
Die andern suchen Lieb' und Gunst mit tausend falschen Worten,
  Du ohne Mund- und Augen-Kunst, bist wert an allen Orten.
  Du bist als wie die Ros' im Wald: sie weiß nichts von ihrer Blüte,
  Doch jedem, der vorüberwallt, erfreut sie das Gemüte.

Tu, petita corona del meu cor, estàs...
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Tu, petita corona del meu cor, estàs feta d’or pur,
  enmig de totes les altres, tu ets llavors la més preciosa.
  A les altres els agrada mostrar llur llestesa, però tu restes dolça i silent,
  quan per tu s’alegren tots els cors, és la teva ventura, no la teva intenció.
Les altres cerquen amor i favors amb mil falses paraules,
  tu, sense artificis de mots i esguards, ets estimable a tot arreu.
  Ets com una rosa al bosc que no és conscient de la seva florida,
  però que, a tots els que passen al costat, els alegra l’ànim.
