Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)
Auch kleine Dinge können uns entzücken
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE FRE
Auch kleine Dinge können uns entzücken,
Auch kleine Dinge können theuer sein.
Bedenkt, wie gern wir uns mit Perlen schmücken;
Sie werden schwer bezahlt und sind nur klein.
Bedenkt, wie klein ist die Olivenfrucht,
Und wird um ihre Güte doch gesucht.
Denkt an die Rose nur, wie klein sie ist,
Und duftet doch so lieblich, wie ihr wisst.

També les petites coses ens poden...
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
També les petites coses ens poden encisar,
també les petites coses poden ser valuoses.
Penseu com de grat ens adornem amb perles;
es paguen molt cares i per tant són petites.
Penseu que petit és el fruit de l’olivera,
i per tant va molt buscat per la seva qualitat.
Penseu tan sols en la rosa, que petita és,
i flaireja tan agradablement, com ja sabeu.
