Wer wird von der Welt verlangen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
Wer wird von der Welt verlangen,
Was sie selbst vermißt und träumet,
Rückwarts oder seitwarts blickend
Stets den Tag des Tags versäumet?
Ihr Bemühn, ihr guter Wille
Hinkt nur nach dem raschen Leben,
Und was du vor Jahren brauchtest,
Möchte sie dir heute geben.

Celle qui demandera au monde
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Celle qui demandera au monde
Ce qu'elle a elle-même manqué et rêvé,
Jetant un œil en arrière ou sur le côté,
Laisse échapper jour après jour.
Ses efforts et sa bonne volonté,
Traînent la jambe après la vie rapide,
Et ce que tu voulais il y a des années,
Veut se donner à toi aujourd'hui.
