Italian

Insana gioventù! Qualora esposta
ti veggo tanto agl'impeti d'amore,
di mia vecchiezza io mi consolo e rido.
Dolce è il mirar dal lido
chi sta per naufragar; non che ne alletti
il danno altrui ma sol perché l'aspetto
d'un mal che non si soffre è dolce oggetto.
Ma che? L'età canuta
non ha le sue tempeste? Ah! Che purtroppo
ha le sue proprie; e dal timor dell'altre
sciolta non è. Son le follie diverse
ma folle è ognuno; e a suo piacer n'aggira
l'odio o l'amor, la cupidigia o l'ira.
 
Siam navi all'onde algenti
lasciate in abbandono;
impetuosi venti
i nostri affetti sono;
ogni diletto è scoglio;
tutta la vita è mar.
 
Ben, qual nocchiero, in noi
veglia ragion; ma poi
pur dall'ondoso orgoglio
si lascia trasportar. (Parte)

English literal translation

I see that love makes thee delirious* -
but we are all the slaves of some passion -
every one is ruled by love or hate,
by anger or desire

We're vessels left to wander wide
Amidst a rough and stormy tide
Our furious passions that prevail
Are dang'rous winds that swell the sail;
Our life's the sea on which we steeer
And pleasure is the rock we fear.

German poetic translation

Unverständige Jugend, wie wirst du
von dessen stürmenden Leidenschaften hingerissen,
mein ruhiges Alter siehet deine Thorheit mit Mitleiden an.

Aber wie? Hat das graue Alter
nicht auch seine stürmischen Tage? O Ja, der Haß,
die Liebe, die Begierde, und der Zorn
treiben es gleichfalls zu Widerwärtigkeiten* und Sorgen.

Den Schiffen gleichen wir,
In wildem Meer verlassen,
Wenn heftige Winde hier,
Das morsche Ruder fassen
Dem Meer ist das Leben gleich
An Klippen durch Begierden reich.

Wir sind zwar Schiffer die erfahren,
Doch reißen** uns die Stürme hin,
Die über Geist, Vernunft und Sinn
Zu mächtig starcke Meister waren.
(Gehet ab.)
