L’amor al pròxim

(Sung text translation for setting by L. Beethoven)

See original

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

Així parla algú: estimo a Déu,
i odia tanmateix als seus germans,
es mofa de la veritat de Déu
i l’esfondra completament.
Déu és l’amor, i vol
que estimi al pròxim com a mi mateix.
