Alle Menschen groß und klein

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE
Alle Menschen groß und klein
Spinnen sich ein Gewebe fein,
Wo sie mit ihrer [Scheren]1 Spitzen
Gar zierlich in der Mitte sitzen.
Wenn nun darein ein Besen fährt,
Sagen sie, es sei unerhört,
Man habe den größten Palast zerstört.

Màxima
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Tots els homes grans i petits
es teixeixen una tela fina,
on, amb la punta de llurs tisores,
rauen al bell mig ben delicadament.
Quan allà dins hi passa una escombra,
diuen, és escandalós,
el més gran dels palaus ha estat enderrocat.
