Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Ich habe lieb die helle
Sonne und ihren Schein;
Der Tag ist mein Geselle,
Und treu will ich ihm sein.

Doch steigt aus Sternengründen
Die stille Nacht herauf,
Ist es mir, als stünden
Der Heimat Türen auf.

El meu país
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Estimo el clar
sol i la seva llum;
el dia és el meu company
i li seré fidel.

Però dels fondals de les estrelles,
s’enlaira la nit silenciosa,
per a mi és com si estiguessin
obertes les portes del meu país.
