O ihr Herren
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
O ihr Herren, o ihr werten
großen reichen Herren all!
Braucht in euren schönen Gärten
ihr denn keine Nachtigall?
Hier ist eine, die ein stilles
Plätzchen sucht die Welt entlang.
Räumt mir eines ein, ich will es
euch bezahlen mit Gesang.

Oh vosaltres senyors
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Oh vosaltres senyors, oh tots vosaltres
dignes, grans i rics senyors!
No us cal un rossinyol
en els vostres bonics jardins?
Aquí n’hi ha un que per tot el món
cerca un lloc tranquil.
Cediu-me’n un i us el pagaré
amb les meves cançons.
