Die Zufriedenheit
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): DUT ENG FRE ITA NOR
Wie sanft, wie ruhig fühl' ich hier
Des Lebens Freuden ohne Sorgen!
Und sonder Ahnung leuchtet mir
Willkommen jeder Morgen.
Mein frohes, mein zufried'nes Herz
Tanzt nach der Melodie der Haine,
Und angenehm ist selbst mein Schmerz,
Wenn ich vor Liebe weine.
Wie sehr lach' ich die Großen aus,
Die Blutvergießer, Helden, Prinzen!
Denn mich beglückt ein kleines Haus,
Sie nicht einmal Provinzen.
Wie wüten sie nicht wider sich,
Die göttergleichen Herr'n der Erden!
Doch brauchen sie mehr Raum als ich,
Wenn sie begraben werden?

Accontentarsi
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Come assaporo, qui, dolcemente e in pace
le gioie della vita senza alcun pensiero!
E privo di crucci riluce per me,
e benvenuto, ogni nuovo mattino.
Il mio cuore,in letizia e allegria,
sembra danzare alle melodie del bosco,
e a me gradito é anche il dolore
quando una lacrima, per amore, verso.
Come me la rido dei grandi e potenti,
di chi versa sangue, degli eroi, dei principi,
io mi accontento di una piccola casa,
mentre a loro non bastano intere province.
Come si accaniscono l'un contro l'altro,
simili a dei, i signori della terra!
Ma avranno bisogno di uno spazio maggiore del mio,
quando anche loro verranno sepolti?
