Du lieblicher Stern
Language: German (Deutsch)
Du lieblicher Stern, Du leuchtest [so]1 fern, Doch hab ich dich denoch Von Herzen so gern. Wie lieb ich doch dich So herzinniglich! Dein funkelndes Äuglein Blickt immer auf mich. So blick ich nach dir, Sei's dort oder hier: Dein freundliches Äuglein Steht immer vor mir. Wie nickst du mir zu In fröhlicher Ruh! O liebliches Sternlein, O wär ich wie du!

Tu gentil estrella
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Tu gentil estrella, resplendeixes tan lluny, però tanmateix et porto de grat al meu cor. Oh, com t’estimo, tan entranyablement! Els teus ullets centellejants sempre m’esguarden. Així, jo també t’esguardo, ja siguis aquí o allà: els teus amables ullets sempre són al meu davant. Com em fas senyals en una pau joiosa! Oh gentil estrelleta si jo pogués ser com tu!
