Laziness - I must finally write for you

Karl Weigl

Laziness - I must finally write for you

also a little paean!

Oh!...how... annoying... it will be for me

to think of how to celebrate your worth!

But I will do my best,

for after hard work, rest is good.

Highest good - whoever possesses you

will have an undisturbed life...

alas! I'm yawning... I'm... growing dull.

Now you must forgive me

if I cannot sing about you:

you are hindering me yourself!
