Was in der Schenke waren heute
Am frühsten Morgen für Tumulte!
Der Wirt und Mädchen! Fackeln, Leute!
Was gab's für Händel,für Insulte!
Die Flöte klang, die Trommel scholl!
Das war ein wüstes Wesen;
Doch bin ich, Lust und Liebevoll,
Auch selbst dabei gewesen.
Daß ich von Sitte nichts gelernt,
Darüber tadelt mich ein jeder;
Doch bleib ich weislich weit entfernt
Vom Streit der Schulen und Katheder.

Hi havia avui a la taverna
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Avui de bon matí a la taverna
hi havia un gran rebombori!
El taverner i les cambreres! Torxes! Gent!
Quines baralles, quins insults!
Sonava la flauta, repicava el timbal!
Això feia un gran enrenou;
però jo, ple de goig i d’amor,
també era allà al mig.
Que jo no he après els bons costums,
això tothom m’ho retreu;
però jo, prudentment, resto ben lluny
de les disputes, de col·legis i càtedres.
