Im Finstern geh' ich suchen,
Mein Kind, wo steckst du wohl?
Ach, sie versteckt sich immer,
Daß ich verschmachten soll!

Im Finstern geh' ich suchen,
Mein Kind, wo steckst du wohl?
Ich, der den Ort nicht finde,
Ich irr' im Kreis umher!

Wer um dich stirbt,
Der hat keine Ruh'!
Kindchen erbarm dich,
Und komm herzu! 
Ja, komm herzu,
Herzu, herzu!

La gallina cega

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

A les fosques. vaig cercant,
criatura meva, on t’has amagat?
Ai, ella s’amaga sempre
i jo defalliré!

A les fosques. vaig cercant,
criatura meva, on t’has amagat?
Jo que no trobo mai l’amagatall,
m’extravio a l’entorn!

Qui mori per tu
no trobarà la pau!
Criatura, tingues pietat
i vine aquí!
Sí, vine aquí,
aquí, aquí!
