Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
Schwalbe, sag mir an,
Ist's dein alter Mann
Mit dem du's Nest gebaut,
Oder hast du jüngst erst
Dich ihm vertraut?
Sag', was zwitschert ihr,
Sag', was flüstert ihr
Des Morgens so vertraut?
Gelt, du bist wohl auch noch
Nicht lange Braut?

La donzella parla
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Oreneta, digues-me,
és amb el teu vell marit
que has fet el teu niu,
o potser fa molt poc
que t’has casat amb ell?
Digues, de què refileu,
digues, de què xiuxiuegeu
els matins tan secretament?
No és cert que fa ben poc
que t’has casat?
