Was soll der Zorn, mein Schatz, der dich erhitzt?
Ich bin mir keiner Sünde ja bewußt,
Ach, lieber nimm ein Messer wohlgespitzt
Und tritt zu mir, durchbohre mir die Brust.
Und taugt ein Messer nicht, so nimm ein Schwert,
Daß meines Blutes Quell gen Himmel fährt.
Und taugt ein Schwert nicht, nimm des Dolches Stahl
Und wasch' in meinem Blut all meine Qual.

Per què aquesta còlera que t’enardeix?
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Per què aquesta còlera que t’enardeix?
No crec haver comès cap pecat,
ai, més val que agafis un ganivet ben esmolat
i vinguis cap a mi, i el clavis al meu pit.
I si un ganivet no serveix, aleshores agafa una espasa,
perquè el doll de la meva sang pugi fins al cel.
I si una espasa tampoc no serveix, agafa l’acer d’un punyal
i renta en la meva sang tot el meu turment.
