Translation of "Jeder Lebt Auf Seine Weise," by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everyone Lives In His Own Way
translation by W. Bledsoe
Everyone lives in his own way,
one loud, the other quiet.
People are so different
spirited and comfortable.
exuberant or quiet.
Each one how he wants
it.
But through laughter
and tears
we see how they come
together.
Happy is he,
who never lost
in the battle of life,
the humor.
And may it pinch us sometimes somewhere,
one can not live without
risk!
So be happy and laugh hard,
as humor is still not taxable!
