canZUn veGLia Da ZiTeiL
sin liung stentus viadi
nus mein oz a perdun
en sogn pelegrinadi
cun tutta devoziun
sil cuolm eis cumparida
al pietus pastur
cheu vegns ti reverida
dal pievel cun fervur
o volva cun carezia
tier nus pucconts tiu egl
nus meina cun dultschezia
la via dil sulegl
old Song from ZIteIl
on a journey long
and gruelling
to confession we go today,
on a holy pilgrimage
full of devotion.
to the pious shepherd
thou appeared
on the mountain top.
here thou art fervently
revered
by the people.
oh, cast thy loving eye
on us sinners.
guide us gently
by the path to the sun.

saLeP e La FUrMicLa
salep e la furmicla
che levan maridar
hoissa hoissum
hoitirralla rideridum
il bi salep quel scheva:
jeu lessel maridar
Lu la furmicla scheva:
ti lesses forsa mei?
ei mavan sigl altar
per metter en gl’ani
salep fa in tgaubriechel
ch’ei segli’or il tschurvi
sur mar va la furmicla
per etg da medegar
L’ei ida suenter Pastgas,
turnada da nadal
cur ch’ella ei turnada
sch’er il salep satraus
L’ei ida vi sur fossa
bargend ch’ell’ha rut l’ossa
locuSt and ant
locust and ant
who wanted to marry
hoissa hoissum
hoitirralla rideridum
the handsome locust
would say:
I want to marry
then ant would say:
is it perhaps me you want?
they hopped on the altar
to put on the ring.
locust does a somersault,
hurling out his brain.
off to sea goes ant,
to find an ointment for
his wounds.

arr: Patricia Draeger
She went after easter,
came back at christmas
when she came back,
locust had been buried.
She went to the grave,
crying so much
that her bones did break.
