Ich bin dein Baum, o Gärtner, dessen Treue
Mich hält in Liebespfleg' und süßer Zucht,
Komm, daß ich in den Schoß dir dankbar streue
Die reife, dir allein gewachs'ne Frucht.
Ich bin dein Gärtner, o du Baum der Treue!
Auf and'res Glück fühl ich nicht Eifersucht,
Die holden Äste find ich stets aufs Neue
Geschmückt mit Frucht, wo ich gepflückt die Frucht.

Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Jo sóc el teu arbre, oh jardiner, de qui la seva fidelitat
té cura de mi amb amor i afectuós conreu,
vine, perquè amb agraïment escampi a la teva falda
els fruits madurs que he produït per a tu.
Jo sóc el teu jardiner, oh arbre de la fidelitat!
No envejo cap altra joia com aquesta
de trobar sempre les teves benignes branques
plenes de fruits on jo ja els havia collit.
