Chiunche nasce a morte arriva
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Chiunche nasce a morte arriva
nel fuggir del tempo; e 'l sole
niuna cosa lascia viva.
Manca il dolce e quel che dole
e gl'ingegni e le parole;
e le nostre antiche prole
al sole ombre, al vento un fummo.
Come voi uomini fummo1,
lieti e tristi, come siete;
[e or siàn]2, come vedete,
terra al sol, di vita priva.
Ogni cosa a morte arriva.
Già fur gli occhi nostri interi
con la luce in ogni speco;
or son voti, orrendi e neri,
e ciò porta il tempo seco.

Tout ce qui est né arrive à la mort
Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)
Tout ce qui est né arrive à la mort
dans le cours du temps ; et le soleil
ne laisse vivre aucune chose.
S'en vont la douceur et ce qui fait mal,
et l'intelligence et la parole ;
et nos anciennes lignées,
ombres au soleil, fumée au vent.
Comme vous nous fûmes des hommes,
joyeux et tristes, comme vous êtes ;
et maintenant, comme vous le voyez,
de la terre au soleil, privés de vie.
Toute chose arrive à la mort.
Jadis nos yeux étaient entiers
avec la lumière dans leurs orbites ;
ils sont vides, horribles et noirs,
et c'est ce que le temps apporte.
