Die Ähren nur noch nicken
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Ähren nur noch nicken, Das Haupt ist ihnen schwer; Die müden Blumen blicken, Nur schüchtern noch umher. [Da]1 kommen Abendwinde, Still wie die Engelein, Und [wiegen]2 sanft und linde Die Halm' und [Blumen]3 ein. Und wie die Blumen blicken, So schüchtern blickst du nun, Und wie die Ähren nicken Will auch dein Häuptlein ruh'n. Und Abendklänge schwingen Still wie die Engelein Sich um die Wieg', und singen Mein Kind in Schlummer ein.

View original text (without footnotes)Confirmed with Kinderlieder von Hoffmann von Fallersleben. Erste vollständige Ausgabe besorgt durch Dr. Lionel von Donop, Zweite Auflage, Berlin, G. Grote'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1878, page 183.
Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the word "Ähren" becomes "Aehren", but as can be seen in how "über" becomes "Ueber" when capitalized, this is due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, so we use "Ähren".

Les espigues es vinclen tan sols
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Les espigues es vinclen tan sols, els seus caps són feixucs; les flors cansades esguarden tímidament al seu entorn. Llavors ve el vent del capvespre, silent com els angelets, i suau i dolçament bressola les tiges i les flors. I tal com esguarden les flors tímidament esguardes tu ara, i tal com es vinclen les espigues reposarà també el teu caparró. I els sons del vespre es mouen suaus com els angelets, al voltant del bressol i canten per fer adormir el meu infant.
