Der Zufriedene
Language: German (Deutsch)
Zwar schuf das Glück hienieden
Mich weder reich noch groß,
Allein ich bin zufrieden,
Wie mit dem schönsten Loos!
So ganz nach meinem Herzen
Ward mir ein Freund vergönnt;
Denn Küssen, Trinken Scherzen,
Ist auch sein Element.
Mit ihm wird froh und weise
Manch Fläschchen ausgeleert;
Denn auf der Lebensreise
Ist Wein das beste Pferd.
Wenn mir bey diesem Loose
Nun auch ein trüb'res fällt,
So denk' ich: keine Rose
Blüht dornlos in der Welt.

Le satisfait
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Certes la fortune ne m'a créé ici-bas
Ni riche ni grand,
Cependant je suis satisfait,
Comme si j'avais le plus beau lot.
Aussi tout près de mon cœur
Un ami s'est accordé,
Car embrasser, boire et plaisanter
Est aussi son élément.
Avec lui, joyeusement et sagement,
De nombreuses bouteilles ont été vidées !
Car au cours de la vie,
Le vin ets le meilleur cheval.
Si pour moi ce lot
Maintenant devenait plus trouble
Alors je penserais : aucune rose
Ne fleurit sans épine dans le monde.
