Dezember

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG

Magst noch so viele Sorgen haben,
Was wissen davon deine Mädel und Knaben?
Wirf ab, was dich bedrücken mag,
Rüst ihnen reich den Weihnachtstag,
Damit auch dir im Herzen
Der Heiland wohnen mag.

Desembre

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

Encara que tinguis molts maldecaps,
què en saben les teves criatures?
Deixa anar tot el que t’afeixuga,
prepara per a ells amb abundància el dia de Nadal,
perquè també al teu cor
pugui habitar el Salvador.
