Anderer Last unsre Lust (Gottsched, set by G. Telemann) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Es hat mir noch an keiner Lust gefehlt;
denn Welt und Himmel ist mein eigen;
Das reichen Hand hat nur das Geld gezählt,
mir täglich neue Lust zu zeugen;
sein Haus und Hoff, Staat, Garten,
Wald und Feld bringt ihm die Last und mir die Freude,
und wenn er gleich den namen,
Herr, behält, geniessen wir's doch alle bende.
