Siam navi all'onde algenti
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Siam navi all'onde algenti
Lasciate in abbandono,
Impetuosi venti
I nostri affetti sono,
Ogni diletto è scoglio,
Tutta la vita è un mar.
Ben, qual nocchiero, in noi
veglia ragion; ma poi
pur dall'ondoso orgoglio
si lascia trasportar.

We are ships on a chilly ocean
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
We are ships on a chilly ocean,
abandoned to our own devices;
our emotions are violent winds.
Every delight is like a rock;
all of life is a sea.
True, as does a helmsman,
Reason keeps watch at first;
But even she will then
let herself be carried away
by the waves of pride.
