Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Zwar schuf das Glück hienieden
Mich weder reich noch groß,
Allein ich bin zufrieden,
Wie mit dem besten 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.

El satisfet

(Sung text translation for setting by H. Marschner)

See original

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Certament aquí, sobre la terra, la fortuna
no m’ha fet ni ric ni gran,
però jo estic satisfet
com si tingués la millor sort.

Així, ben a prop del meu cor,
un amic em fou concedit
per al qui besar, beure i plaguejar,
són també el seu element.

Amb ell, alegres però amb seny,
hem buidat moltes ampolles,
car en el viatge de la vida,
el vi és el millor cavall.

Si mai a la meva sort
s’escaigués una desgràcia,
pensaria aleshores: al món
cap rosa floreix sense espines.
