Wer wird von der Welt verlangen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
Wer wird von der Welt verlangen,
Was sie selbst vermißt und träumet,
Rückwarts oder seitwarts blickend
Stets den Tag des Tags versäumet?
Ihr Bemühn, ihr guter Wille
Hinkt nur nach dem raschen Leben,
Und was du vor Jahren brauchtest,
Möchte sie dir heute geben.

Qui demanarà al món
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Qui demanarà al món
el que ella mateixa ha mancat o somiat,
i que mirant enrere o de costat
desaprofita sempre dia rere dia?
El seu afany, la seva bona voluntat,
ranquegen només devers la vida rabent,
i el que tu fa anys necessitaves,
avui ella vol donar-t’ho.
