Cabezita, cabezita,
tente en ti, no te resbales,
y apareja dos puntales
de la paciencia bendita;
solicita
la bonita
confianzita;
no te inclines
a pensamientos ruynes;
veras cosas,
que toquen en milagrosas;
Dios delante,
y san Christoual gigante.

Köpfchen, Köpfchen, nicht gewimmert

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Spanish (Español)

Available translation(s): ENG FRE

Köpfchen, Köpfchen, nicht gewimmert,
halt dich wacker, halt dich munter,
stütz zwei gute Säulchen unter,
heilsam aus Geduld gezimmert!
Hoffnung schimmert,
wie sich's auch verschlimmert
und dich kümmert.
Mußt mit Grämen 
dir nichts zu Herzen nehmen,
ja kein Märchen,
daß zu Berg dir stehn die Härchen;
da sei Gott davor
und der Riese Christophor!
