Wohl wandert' ich aus in trauriger Stund
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Wohl wandert' ich aus in trauriger Stund,
Es weinte die Liebe so sehr.
Der Fuß ist mir lahm, die Schulter mir wund,
Das Herz, das ist mir so schwer.

Was singt ihr, ihr Vögel, im Morgenlicht?
Ihr wißt nicht, wie Scheiden tut!
Es drücken euch Sorgen und Schuhe nicht;
Ihr Vögel, ihr habt es gut!

Par un bien triste jour, je suis sorti...
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Par un bien triste jour, je suis sorti me promener,
Je pleurais tant mon amour.
J'avais les pieds paralysés, les épaules endolories,
J'avais le cœur si lourd.

Que chantez-vous, les oiseaux, dans la lumière du matin ?
Vous ne savez pas ce qu'est la séparation !
Ni les chagrins, ni les chaussures ne vous oppressent ;
Vous, les oiseaux, vous avez la belle vie !
