Frei übersetzt:

Manche haben Essen, aber können nicht essen.
Andere haben kein Essen, aber hätten es gerne!
Aber wir haben Essen, und wir können essen!
Drum lasst uns dem Herrgott danken!

Dazu sind mir einige Varianten eingefallen.

Fällt euch auch was dazu ein?

Manche haben ein Auto, aber können nicht damit fahren.
Andere haben kein Auto, aber hätten gerne eins!
Aber wir haben ein Auto, und wir können damit fahren!
Drum lasst uns dem Herrgott danken!

Noch ein Gebet:

Manche haben einen Weinkeller, aber dürfen keinen Wein trinken.
Andere haben keinen Wein, aber hätten gerne welchen!
Aber wir haben Wein, und wir können Wein trinken!
Drum lasst uns dem Herrgott danken!

Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
Sae let the Lord be Thankit!

Ich finde das immer noch genial!

Und eine neue Varianten des Selkirk Grace:

Some have wine, but canna dine,
while some have none and want it.
But we have wine, and we can dine,
so let the Lord be thankit!

Selkirk Grace

Zitat

A grace is a prayer which is often said before eating, to give thanks to God for the food. The tradition often comes from a Christian religious background, but many other religions have ways of giving thanks for food as well. Selkirk Grace is a specific grace that is popular in Scotland. The original Selkirk Grace is said in a dialect of Scotland called Lallans- the lowlands Scots dialect.

One of the greatest myths about Selkirk Grace is that it was written by Robert Burns - a poet who has an entire evening dedicated to celebrating him in Scotland (Burns Night). Burns was said to have delivered the grace at a dinner party, held by the Earl of Selkirk in 1794. But at that time, Selkirk Grace was already 80-100 years old, and was originally called the Galloway Grace or the Covenanters’ Grace. Burns was of course a well known individual, so he may have brought some popularity to the grace, which is why people began to call it the Selkirk Grace, as his speech in Selkirk became well known. Burns was known to recite it at many dinners, and so people often mistakenly thought that he wrote it.
