Sagt ihm, daß er zu mir komme
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Sagt ihm, daß er zu mir komme,
Denn je mehr sie mich drum schelten,
Ach, je mehr wächst meine Glut!

O zum Wanken
Bringt die Liebe nichts auf Erden;
Durch ihr Zanken
Wird sie nur gedoppelt werden. 
Sie gefährden
Mag nicht [ihrer]1 Neider Wut;
Denn je mehr sie mich drum schelten,
Ach, je mehr wächst meine Glut!

Eingeschlossen
Haben sie mich lange Tage;
Unverdrossen
Mich gestraft mit schlimmer Plage;
Doch ich trage
Jede Pein mit Liebesmut,
[Und]2 je mehr sie mich drum schelten,
Ach, je mehr wächst meine Glut!

Meine Peiniger
Sagen oft, ich soll dich lassen,
Doch nur einiger
Woll'n wir uns ins Herze fassen. 
Muß ich drum erblassen,
Tod um Liebe lieblich tut,
Und je mehr sie mich drum schelten,
Ach, je mehr wächst meine Glut!

Digues‑li que vingui cap a mi
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Digues-li que vingui cap a mi,
car, quan més per això m’increpen,
més creix el meu ardor!

Oh, fer vacil·lar 
l’amor res sobre la terra ho pot produir;
per les seves disputes
només es duplica.
Posar-lo en perill
no pot la seva fúria envejosa;
car, quan més per això m’increpen,
més creix el meu ardor!

Empresonada,
m’han reclòs per molt de temps;
infatigablement,
m’han castigat amb greus turments;
però jo suporto
tots els dolors amb el coratge de l’amor,
i, quan més per això m’increpen,
més creix el meu ardor!

Els meus torturadors
diuen sovint que t’hauria de deixar,
però encara més units
volem afermar els nostres cors.
Si m’haig de desaparèixer,
serà un goig morir d’amor,
i, quan més per això m’increpen,
més creix el meu ardor!
