Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE FRE
Wir sind ja, Kind, im Maie,
Wirf Buch und Heft von dir!
Komm' einmal her in's Freie,
Und sing' ein Lied mit mir.
Komm, singen fröhlich beide
Wir einen Wettgesang,
Und wer da will, entscheide,
Wer von uns besser sang!
Note: at the top of the Schumann score is the following text: "Ein
Lied aus ihrem frühsten Mädchenalter, vielleicht schon im
elften Jahre gedichtet. So reizend naive enthalten die Dichtungen
jener Zeit an die Hundert. Auf das tiefste spiegelt sie überall
die Wirklichkeit ab."

El lluer
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Nen, ja som al mes de maig,
deixa de banda llibres i quaderns!
Vine aquí, a l’aire lliure,
i canta amb mi una cançó.
Vine, cantem tots dos joiosament
en un concurs de cant,
i qui vulgui que decideixi
qui dels dos canta millor!
