Die ihr aus dunklen Grüften

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG

Die ihr aus dunklen Grüften
Den eitlen Mammon grabt,
Seht, was ihr hier in Lüften
Für reiche Schätze habt.
Sprecht nicht, es ist nur Farb' und Schein,
Man zählt und schließt es nicht im Kasten ein.

Vosaltres, que des d'obscurs sepulcres

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

Vosaltres, que des d'obscurs sepulcres
excaveu les fàtues riqueses,
mireu, quins rics tresors
teniu per descobrir.
No parleu, tot és només colorit i aparença,
no és pot comptar ni tancar-lo en caixes.
