De ce te plangi?

Zadarnicia - Anton Pann
Ani ca, zilele trec
Și minutele ca clipa,
Nu simțim cum să petrec
Tinerețele cu pripa.
Noi din zi în zi murim
Și ne pierdem din viață,
Ca musca ne amăgim
Si ne-necăm în dulceață.
Interesuri căutînd,
Trăim tot în neodihnă
Și ne hrănim griji păscînd,
N-avem un minut în ticnă.
Cu nădăjdi ne mîngîiem
Și ne îndulcim amarul,
Ne îmbătăm și iar bem
Pînă la drojdi păharul.
Am vrea pe plac să trăim,
Și să fim în fericire,
Iar orcît să dobîndim.
Murim în nemulțămire.

What is the world to me ? [ Hymn ]
What is the world to me,
With all its vaunted pleasure
When Thou, and Thou alone,
Lord Jesus, art my Treasure!
Thou only, dearest Lord,
My soul’s Delight shalt be;
Thou art my Peace, my Rest—
What is the world to me?
The world is like a cloud
And like a vapor fleeting,
A shadow that declines,
Swift to its end retreating.
My Jesus doth abide,
Though all things fade and flee;
My everlasting Rock—
What is the world to me?
The world seeks after wealth
And all that Mammon offers,
Yet never is content
Though gold should fill its coffers.
I have a higher good,
Content with it I’ll be:
My Jesus is my Wealth—
What is the world to me?
The world is sorely grieved
Whenever it is slighted
Or when its hollow fame
And honor have been blighted.
Christ, Thy reproach I bear
Long as it pleaseth Thee;
I’m honored by my Lord—
What is the world to me?
The world with wanton pride
Exalts its sinful pleasures
And for them foolishly
Gives up the heavenly treasures.
Let others love the world
With all its vanity;
I love the Lord, my God—
What is the world to me?
The world abideth not;
Lo, like a flash ’twill vanish;
With all its gorgeous pomp
Pale death it cannot banish;
Its riches pass away,
And all its joys must flee;
But Jesus doth abide—
What is the world to me?
What is the world to me?
My Jesus is my Treasure,
My Life, my Health, my Wealth,
My Friend, my Love, my Pleasure,
My Joy, my Crown, my All,
Conclusion: God Is the Gospel—
Now Let Us Sacrifice and Sing
My Bliss eternally.
Once more, then, I declare—
What is the world to me?
