Leichtsinniger Rat

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT

Wo du triffst ein Mündlein hold,
  Das zum Kuß sich ründe,
Frage keinen Tugendbold,
  Ob es etwa Sünde?
Möglich daß es schon geküßt,
  Ja, sogar wahrscheinlich.
Aber auch, wenn ich's wüßt',
  Wär' es mir nicht peinlich,
Bin ich durstig, geh ich frank
  Zu der frischen Quelle,
Forsche nicht, ob gestern trank
  Schon ein Geselle.

Consell frívol

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

Allà on trobis una boqueta encisadora,
que es presta a besar,
no preguntis a cap model de virtuts
si això és potser un pecat.
És possible que ja hagi besat,
sí, àdhuc probablement.
Però encara que ho sabés
no m’amoïnaria pas,
quan tinc set, vaig decidit
a la fresca font,
no cerco a saber si ahir
un company també hi ha begut.
