Paroles et traduction Corvus Corax feat. Ingeborg Schöpf & Klaus Lothar Peters - Vitium in Opere

Vitium in Opere

Disputat cum animo facies rebellis,
Mel ab ore profluit, mens est plena fellis;
Non est totum melleum, quod est instar mellis,
Facies est alia pectoris quam pellis.
Vitium in opere, virtus est in ore,
Tegunt picem animi niveo colore
Membra dolent singula capitis dolore
Et radici consonat ramus in sapore
Vitium in opere
Divites divitibus dant, ut sumant ibi,
Et occurrunt munera relative sibi.
Lex ista celebris, quam fecerunt scribe:
"Si tu michi dederis, ego dabo tibi."

Vitium in Opere

Your rebellious face argues with your mind,
Honey flows from your mouth, your heart is full of gall;
Not everything is honeyed that looks like honey,
The face is a different skin than the chest.
Vice in the deed, virtue in the mouth,
They cover the pitch with snow-white color
Every limb aches with the pain of the head
And the branch resonates with the root in flavor
Vice in the deed
The rich give to the rich so they take there,
And gifts meet each other relately.
This is the famous law that the scribes made:
"If you give me, I'll give you."
