Gesegnet sei, durch den die Welt entstund

Translation by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

Sia benedetto chi fece lo mondo!

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Sia benedetto chi fece lo mondo!
Lo seppe tanto bene accomodare!
Fece lo mare e non vi fece fondo,
Fece le navi per poter passare.
Fece le navi e fece il paradiso 
E fece le bellezze al vostro viso.

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Gesegnet sei, durch den die Welt entstund;
Wie trefflich schuf er sie nach allen Seiten!
Er schuf das Meer mit endlos tiefem Grund,
Er schuf die Schiffe, die hinübergleiten,
Er schuf das Paradies mit ew'gem Licht,
Er schuf die Schönheit und dein Angesicht.
