Wohl kenn' ich Euren Stand, der nicht...

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Wohl kenn' ich Euren Stand, der nicht gering.
Ihr brauchtet nicht so tief herabzusteigen,
Zu lieben solch ein arm und niedrig Ding,
Da sich vor Euch die Allerschönsten neigen.
Die schönsten Männer leicht besiegtet Ihr,
Drum weiß ich wohl, Ihr treibt nur Spiel mit mir.
Ihr spottet mein, man hat mich warnen wollen,
Doch ach, Ihr seid so schön! wer kann Euch grollen?

Conec molt bé el vostre rang que no és...

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

Conec molt bé el vostre rang que no és pas inferior.
No teniu necessitat de rebaixar-vos tant
com per estimar una cosa tan pobre i humil,
car els més bells de tots s’inclinen davant vós.
Fàcilment guanyeu als homes més bells,
per això sé molt bé que només voleu jugar amb mi.
Us esteu burlant de mi, d’això m’han volgut advertir,
però, ai, sou tan bell! Qui podria tenir-vos rancor?
