Plustôst les yeux du firmament

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: ITA

Plustôst les yeux du firmament
Seront sans réglé mouvement,
 Et vagabonde
 Ne sera l'onde,

Plustôst qu'on voye déplacée
 Des vains appâts
 De ces lieux bas
Du Mondain la folle pensée.

Piuttosto gli occhi del firmamento

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the French (Français)

Piuttosto gli occhi del firmamento
resteranno fissi e senza movimento
E vagabonda
Non sarà più l’onda

Invece di essere qua e là attirati
Dalle  esche vane
Di questi luoghi bassi
Dal pensiero folle delle cure mondane.
