Wer machte dich so krank?
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Daß du so krank geworden,
Wer hat es denn gemacht? --
Kein kühler Hauch aus Norden
Und keine Sternennacht.
Kein Schatten unter Bäumen,
Nicht Glut des Sonnenstrahls,
Kein Schlummern und kein Träumen
Im Blütenbett des Tals.
Kein Trunk vom Felsensteine,
Kein Wein aus vollem Glas,
Der Baumesfrüchte keine,
Nicht Blume und nicht Gras.
Daß ich trag' Todeswunden,
Das ist der Menschen Tun;
Natur ließ mich gesunden,
Sie lassen mich nicht ruhn.

Chi ti fa tanto male?
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Tu soffri tanto,
chi ti ha fatto tanto male?
Non l'alito fresco del nord
né la notte stellata.
Non l'ombra sotto gli alberi,
non il caldo del raggio del sole,
non il sonno né i sogni
nel letto fiorito della valle.
[...]
Le mie ferite mortali
vengono dagli esseri umani;
la natura mi ha risanato,
quelli non mi lasciano in pace.
