Täglich zu singen

(Sung text for setting by G. Bachlund)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

Ich danke Gott und freue mich
Wie's Kind zur Weihnachtsgabe,
Daß ich hier bin und daß ich dich,
Schön Menschlich Antlitz! habe;

Daß ich die Sonne, Berg und Meer,
Und Laub und Gras kann sehen,
Und Abends unterm Sternenheer
Und lieben Monde gehen;

 ... 

Ich danke Gott mit Saitenspiel,
Daß ich kein König worden;
Ich wär geschmeichelt worden viel,
Und wär vielleicht verdorben.

 ... 

Gott gebe mir nur jeden Tag,
So viel ich darf zum Leben.
Er giebt's dem Sperling auf dem Dach;
Wie sollt' ers mir nicht geben!

Da cantare ogni giorno

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Bachlund)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Io sono grato a Dio e mi rallegro
come a Natale un piccolo bimbetto,
perché qui sono, e perché possiedo
un volto umano e di bell'aspetto.

Perché posso vedere il sole, i monti e il mare
e foglie ed erba nel loro splendore
perché tutte le sere posso camminare
sotto le stelle o della luna al chiarore.

 ... 





















Possa ogni giorno concedermi il Signore
solo quanto per la vita è di alimento,
come con il passero sul tetto suole fare;
riservi a me lo stesso trattamento!

 ...
