Ich sah einen Toren eingewurzelt, und ich fluchte plötzlich seinem Hause.
Yo he visto al necio que echaba raíces, Y en la misma hora maldije su habitación.
Yo he visto al necio echar raíces, pero al instante maldije su morada.
J'ai vu l'insensé prendre racine; Puis soudain j'ai maudit sa demeure.
Io ho veduto il pazzo che si radicava; Ma incontanente ho maledetto il suo abitacolo.
Bem vi eu o louco lançar raízes; porém logo amaldiçoei a sua habitação.
我曾見愚妄人扎下根, 但我忽然詛咒他的住處。
