Der Tambourgesell
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE ITA POR SPA
Ich armer Tambourgesell,
Man führt mich aus dem Gwölb,
Wär ich ein Tambour blieben,
Dürft ich nicht gefangen liegen.
O Galgen, du hohes Haus,
Du siehst so furchtbar aus,
Ich schau dich nicht mehr an,
Weil i weiß, daß i gehör dran.
Wenn Soldaten vorbeimarschieren,
Bei mir nicht einquartieren.
Wenn sie fragen, wer i g'wesen bin:
Tambour von der Leibkompanie.
Gute Nacht, ihr Marmelstein,
Ihr Berg und Hügelein.
Gute Nacht, ihr Offizier,
Korporal und Musketier.
Gute Nacht! Ihr Offizier',
Korporal und Grenadier!
Ich schrei mit lauter Stimm,
Von euch ich Urlaub nimm.
Gute Nacht! Gute Nacht.

El timbaler
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Jo, pobre timbaler,
em treuen del calabós,
si hagués restat sent timbaler,
no estaria empresonat.
Oh patíbul, tu alt casalot,
sembles tan horrible,
no et vull mirar més
car sé que formo part de tu.
Quan passin pel davant els soldats
que no són de la meva companyia,
i preguntin qui jo era:
era el timbaler de la primera companyia.
Bona nit, pedres de marbre,
muntanyes i tossals.
Bona nit, vosaltres comandants,
caporals i mosqueters.
Bona nit! Vosaltres comandants,
caporals i mosqueters!
Ho crido amb una veu forta,
me’n vaig de permís.
Bona nit! Bona nit!
