Der Jäger
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FIN FRE GRE ITA KOR POR
Was sucht denn der Jäger am Mühlbach hier?
Bleib', trotziger Jäger, in deinem Revier!
Hier giebt es kein Wild zu jagen für dich,
Hier wohnt nur ein Rehlein, ein zahmes, für mich.
Und willst du das zärtliche Rehlein sehn,
So laß deine Büchsen im Walde stehn,
Und laß deine klaffenden Hunde zu Haus,
Und laß auf dem Horne den Saus und Braus,
Und scheere vom Kinne das struppige Haar,
Sonst scheut sich im Garten das Rehlein fürwahr.

Doch besser, du bliebest im Walde dazu,
Und ließest die Mühlen und Müller in Ruh'.
Was taugen die Fischlein im grünen Gezweig?
Was will denn das Eichhorn im bläulichen Teich?
Drum bleibe, du trotziger Jäger, im Hain,
Und laß mich mit meinen drei Rädern allein;
Und willst meinem Schätzchen dich machen beliebt,
So wisse, mein Freund, was ihr Herzchen betrübt:
Die Eber, die kommen zu Nacht aus dem Hain,
Und brechen in ihren Kohlgarten ein,
Und treten und wühlen herum in dem Feld:
Die Eber, die [schieße]1, du Jägerheld!

El caçador
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Què cerca el caçador aquí en el rierol del molí?
Atrevit caçador, queda't en el teu vedat!
Aquí no hi ha cap cacera per a tu,
aquí només hi viu un cabirolet amansit per a mi,
i si vols veure el gentil cabirolet,
deixa el teu fusell en el bosc,
deixa els teus gossos clapidors  a casa,
atura el bramul de la trompa de caça,
i afaita't la teva barba hirsuta,
o el cabirolet s'espantarà de veritat en el jardí.

Però millor que et quedis en el bosc
i deixis en pau el molí i el moliner.
De què servirien els peixos en el verd brancatge?
Què faria l'esquirol en el blau estany?
Per això queda't, atrevit caçador, en el boscatge,
i deixa'm sol amb les meves tres rodes;
i si vols fer-te agradós al meu tresor,
has de saber, amic meu, el que entristeix el seu cor:
els senglars, que surten a la nit del boscatge
i fan incursions en el seu hort de cols,
trepitjant i fotjant el camp:
dispara als senglars, tu heroic caçador!
