Wanderers Gemütsruhe
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
Übers Niederträchtige
Niemand sich beklage;
Denn es ist das Mächtige,
Was man dir auch sage.
In dem Schlechten waltet es
Sich zu Hochgewinne,
Und mit Rechtem schaltet es
Ganz nach seinem Sinne.
Wandrer! - Gegen solche Not
Wolltest du dich sträuben?
Wirbelwind und trocknen Kot,
Laß sie drehn und stäuben.

Sérénité du voyageur
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Sur ce qui est vil
Personne ne devrait se plaindre ;
Car c'est le pouvoir,
Ce qu'on te dit sans doute.
Dans le mal il règne
Avec le plus grand succès,
Et avec le juste, il opère
Complètement selon son désir.
Voyageur ! Contre de telles misères
Voudrais-tu te dresser ?
Les tourbillons du vent et la boue séchée,
Laisse-les tournoyer et faire de la poussière.
