Erblicke hier, betörter Mensch
Language: German (Deutsch)
Aria: Simon
Erblicke hier, betörter Mensch,
erblicke deines Lebens Bild!
Verblühet ist dein kurzer Lenz,
erschöpfet deines Sommers Kraft.
Schon welkt dein Herbst dem Alter zu;
schon nah't der bleiche Winter sich,
und zeiget dir das off'ne Grab.
Wo sind sie nun, die hoh'n Entwürfe,
die Hoffnungen von Glück,
die Sucht nach eitlem Ruhme,
der Sorgen schwere Last?
Wo sind sie nun, die Wonnetage,
verschwelgt in Üppigkeit,
und wo die frohen Nächte,
im Taumel durchgewacht?
Verschwunden sind sie, wie ein Traum.
Nur Tugend bleibt.
Recitative
Die bleibt allein,
und leitet uns unwandelbar
durch Zeit und Jahreswechsel,
durch Jammer, oder Freude,
bis zu dem höchstem Ziele hin.

Guarda qui, stolto essere umano
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Simone (Bass)
Guarda qui, stolto essere umano,
guarda il quadro della tua vita!
Sfiorita la tua breve primavera,
esaurita la forza della tua estate.
Già cede il tuo autunno all'età,
già si avvicina il pallido inverno
e ti mostra la tomba aperta.
Dove sono ora, i progetti ambiziosi,
le speranza di felicità,
la ricerca dell'inutile gloria,
la pena del pesante fardello?
Dove sono ora i giorni della gioia,
passati nella ricchezza?
E dove le liete notti,
trascorse in veglie voluttuose?
Tutto svanito come un sogno!
Rimane solo la virtù!
Recitativo: Simone
Essa sola rimane per condurci, immutabile,
attraverso il tempo e corso degli anni,
attraverso gioie e tormenti,
fino alla meta più alta.
