[Cz-L] Das Hobellied

Song from 1834 , befits situation of latest mails,
good song anyhow, well known in Czernowitz und Umgebung.

 Da streiten sich die Leut' herum
Wohl um den Wert des Gluecks,
Der eine heisst den andern dumm,
Am End' weiss keiner nix.
Da ist der alleraermste Mann
Dem andern viel zu reich:
Das Schicksal setzt den Hobel an
Und hobelt alles gleich.
 
English:
People quarell frequently
 On the value of Luck
 One will call the other dumb,
 And end up knowing null.
  The poorest man might appear
   To rich in others eyes,
 Te fate will set his plane to work
 And planes them equal size.

Hardy
