Genialisch treiben

Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE ITA
So wälz ich ohne Unterlaß,
Wie Sankt Diogenes, mein Faß.
Bald ist es Ernst, bald ist es Spaß;
Bald ist es Lieb, bald ist es Haß;
Bald ist es dies, bald ist es das;
Es ist ein Nichts, und ist ein Was.
So wälz ich ohne Unterlaß,
Wie Sankt Diogenes, mein Faß.

Tasca de geni
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Així faig rodolar sense parar
com sant Diògenes, el meu tonell.
Adés seriosament, adés per divertir-me,
adés amb amor, adés amb odi,
adés és això, adés és allò,
no és res i és alguna cosa.
Així faig rodolar sense parar
com sant Diògenes, el meu tonell.
