Es geht wohl anders, als du meinst
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es geht wohl anders, als du meinst:
Derweil du [rot]1 und fröhlich scheinst,
Ist Lenz und Sonnenschein verflogen,
Die liebe Gegend schwarz umzogen;
Und kaum hast du dich ausgeweint,
Lacht alles wieder, die Sonne scheint --
Es geht wohl anders, als [man meint]2.

Meditazione 1 dalle "Meditazioni del viandante"
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Tutto è diverso da quello che pensi:
mentre tu appari felice e rubicondo,
svaniscono la primavera e la luce del sole,
e la bella contrada è invasa dal buio;
e mentre hai appena finito di piangere,
tutto torna a sorridere, il sole brilla --
Tutto è diverso da quello che si pensa
