Veia digl Pader 02: La baselgia viglia da Lantsch

La baselgia viglia da Lantsch

Baselgigna, semi d'art passo,

fegn cussign, sen fegn plimatsch puso,

sper ties meirs, schi grischs,

igls morts on pôss,

dad en plant e cant digl gôt ninos.

L'Alvra bragia se digl letg profond:

ma la pizza, ota sur digl mond,

Canta, chinta d'en biia reveir!

An speranza egl en lev durmeir.

Scu chel monumaint è renuvo,

refluria, scu ruser digl pro,

Gist usche reveivas te en de:

Giovna Speia, prui ties corp puspe.

Fr. Alexander Lozza

The old church of Lenz/Lantsch

Old little church, dream of bygone times,

fine gem resting there on green cushion!

On thy grey walls also rest the dead, lulled by the lamentation and the song of the larch.

Down from the deep riverbed the Alvra weeps,

but the mountains above fields and pastures

announce, shining, selges Wiedersehn.

With hope, death sleep is so gentle.

How the church was redesigned,

like the shrub that blooms fresh again,

so you too come into being with your body

from the Gottesacker, new and young.

Duri Lozza (translation)
