Qu'est‑ce du cours et de l'arrest du monde?
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ITA
Qu'est du cours et de l'arrest du Monde?
C'est un chemin raboteux, ennuyeux;
Un cocher fol, déloyal, dangereux,
Traînant son coche en la boue profonde.

C'est un logis fumeux, sale, puant;
Un hôte avare, infâme, remuant;
Un lit pierreux; un fâcheux et vain songe;
Un réveiller d'orgueil et de mensonge.

Cos'è questo continuo affrettarsi e arrestarsi del Mondo?
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the French (Français) 
Cos'è questo continuo affrettarsi e arrestarsi del Mondo?
è un percorso difficile e accidentato;
è un cocchiere folle, pericoloso e poco fidato,
che conduce il suo carro verso un abisso profondo.

E' un alloggio fumoso, sporco, puzzolente;
un oste avaro, infame, turbolento;
Un giaciglio pietroso; un doloroso e vano sogno;
seguito da un risveglio di menzogna ed orgoglio.
