da ich meine Tritte wusch in Butter und die Felsen mir Ölbäche gossen;
Cuando lavaba yo mis caminos con manteca, Y la piedra me derramaba ríos de aceite!
cuando mis pasos se bañaban en cuajada y la roca derramaba para mí arroyos de aceite!
Quand mes pieds se baignaient dans la crème Et que le rocher répandait près de moi des ruisseaux d'huile!
Mentre io lavava i miei passi nel burro, E le rocce versavano presso di me de’ ruscelli d’olio
Quando lavava os meus passos na manteiga, e da rocha me corriam ribeiros de azeite;
我的腳洗在乳酪當中; 磐石為我流出油河。
