Italian (Italiano) translation of Herr, lehre doch mich

by Johannes Brahms (1833 - 1897), "Herr, lehre doch mich", op. 45 no. 3 [ baritone solo, chorus, orchestra ], from Ein deutsches Requiem, no. 3

Note: this is a translation of one multi-text setting.

Herr, lehre doch mich, 
daß ein Ende mit mir haben muß,
und mein Leben ein Ziel hat,
und ich davon muß. 

Siehe, meine Tage sind 
einer Hand breit vor dir, 
und mein Leben ist wie nichts vor dir. 

Herr, lehre doch mich, 
daß ein Ende mit mir haben muß,
und mein Leben ein Ziel hat,
und ich davon muß. 

Ach wie gar nichts sind alle Menschen, 
die doch so sicher leben. 

Sie gehen daher wie ein Schemen, 
und machen ihnen viel vergebliche Unruhe; 
sie sammeln und wissen nicht wer es kriegen wird. 

Ach wie gar nichts sind alle Menschen, 
die doch so sicher leben. 

Nun Herr, wess soll ich mich trösten? 
Ich hoffe auf dich.

Ricordami, Signore,
la mia natura mortale
e che la mia esistenza ha un termine,
comprenderò così quanto è breve la mia vita.

Vedi, nel palmo di una mano
Stanno i miei giorni al tuo cospetto,
e la mia esistenza, davanti a te, è un niente.

Ricordami, Signore,
la mia natura mortale
e che la mia esistenza ha un termine,
comprenderò così quanto è breve la mia vita.

Ah, quanto insignificante è ogni uomo sulla terra,
che pure vive credendosi sicuro.

La sua vita trascorre come un'ombra,
e inutilmente egli si affanna;
accumula ricchezze e non sa chi ne godrà.

Ah, quanto insignificante è ogni uomo sulla terra,
che pure vive credendosi sicuro.

Ora Signore, chi mi darà conforto?
In te solo io spero.
