Bitte

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT

Alle Sternelein, die am Himmel steh'n,
sollen meinem Kind zu Diensten geh'n;
alle Blümlein, die in Düften sprießen,
sollen neigend mir mein Kind begrüßen,
alle Vöglein, die in den Lüften schwingen,
sollen mir mein Kind zur Ruhe singen,
und die Engel, die in Himmelsweiten
goldgesäumte Flügel breiten,
sollen dich behutsam, fein behutsam
auf den Weg zum lieben, lieben Gott geleiten.

Prec

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

Totes les petites estrelles que estan al cel,
han d’estar al servei del meu infant;
totes les petites flors que brosten flairant,
inclinant-se, han de saludar el meu infant,
tots els ocellets que volen als aires,
han de cantar perquè el meu infant s’adormi,
i els àngels, que en les extensions del cel
estenen llurs ales rivetejades d’or,
l’han de conduir amb cura, amb molta cura,
pel camí que mena a l’estimat, l’estimat Déu.
