by August von Kotzebue (1761 - 1819)

Canzone
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es klingt eine Regel zwar wunderlich,
doch gilt sie nicht bloss im Stalle:
in dieser Welt sorgt Jeder für sich,
der liebe Gott für uns alle!

So dachten und denken in ihrem Sinn
doch stets die grössten Geister.
Sei alles mager immerhin!
werd' ich doch nur stets feister.

Ein Mensch ist gefallen? was kümmert's mich?
Wohl mir, wenn ich nicht falle!
In dieser Welt sorgt Jeder für sich,
der liebe Gott für uns alle!
