Chi chi nu po uzer il crap il stu rudler.
If You cannot carry the stone, you need to roll it!
(The one who cannot carry the stone have to roll it.)
Хто не може підняти камінь, нехай котить його.

Filisur, chesa Antupada
In the house Antupada decorated by Hans Ardüser (1557-1617) lived the last representatives of the village dialect (Filisurer), brother and sister Lorenz (both died in 1980 and 1982). An architect Theres Projer is chesa's actual owner.

Filisur: best tool ever
kein nützlicheres
Werkzeug gibt's
auf der Welt
als den Pflug
im Ackerfeld
there is no more useful tool in the world than a plough in a field
немає більш потрібної речі у світі ніж плуг у полі

Guarda: joyful life
Scha viver leidt tü vousch aqui
Schi taidla impa que chia ta di
Tema Deis e di vardatts
Sün Deis sulet tschainta teis fatts
Lura tcuntainta da tia soart
Schi ha teis cour saimper cuffoart
L'experienza cuntschaint t fa
Chia ilgs fats dalg muond sun vanità
MiIoan Bartt

If wou wish to live here in joy
Then listen a little bit to what I'll tell you
Fear God and tell the truth
Only God make the ground of your deeds
And be satisfied with your destiny
Then your heart will always find delight
The experience will show you
That the worldly deeds are vanity
If wou wish to live here in joy
Then listen a little bit to what I'll tell you
Fear God and tell the truth
Only God make the ground of your deeds
And be satisfied with your destiny
Then your heart will always find delight
The experience will show you
That the worldly deeds are vanity
MiIoan Bartt

Якщо ти бажаєш радісно жити отут
То трохи послухай, що я тобі скажу
Бійся Бога та кажи правду
На Бога одного поклади свої справи
Потім будь задоволений своєю долею
Тоді твоє серце завжди знаходитиме розраду
Досвід покаже тобі
Що справи світу - марнота

Guarda: the world is a bitch
Ilg crastiaun dal muond s daleta
La poza sün el meta
Ilg muond es üna chiona
Chi s poza in el cert s'ingona
Ilg coel völg sulet cerchiar
Et mia poza in Deis pozar
Ch'eu posa star pro el sü dsur
In quela che chi saimper düra
Men Ander et seis filgs Iachian e Albert Anders
Людина розважається у світі
Опертя покладає в ньому
Світ - сука
Хто спирається на нього, точно обманюється
Лише небо хочу шукати
Й своє опертя в Бозі покладати
Аби я зміг перебувати в нього угорі
У тому домі, що триває вічно
Men Ander та його сини Iachian й Albert Anders
1706 р.
A man has fun in the world
Takes it for a pillar
The world is a bitch
The one who relies on it deludes himself for sure
I only want to look for the sky
And have my pillar in the God
So that I could be there above
In the house that lasts forever
Men Ander and his sons Iachian and Albert Anders
1706
Guarda, Lower Engadine
