Wir wandern nun schon viel hundert Jahr
Und kommen doch nicht zur Stelle -
Der Strom wohl rauscht an die tausend gar
Und kommt doch nicht zur Quelle.

2. Giorno di lavoro
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Vaghiamo da più di cento anni
E non giungiamo mai alla meta,
il fiume scroscia già da millenni,
eppure non arriva alla sorgente.

Was ich wollte, liegt zerschlagen,
Herr, ich lasse ja das Klagen,
Und das Herz ist still.
Nun aber gib auch Kraft, zu tragen,
Was ich nicht will!

3. "Il ravveduto" dalle "Rime spirituali"
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ciò che bramavo, giace in rovina,
Signore, rinuncio a ogni lamento,
ed il mio cuore è quieto.
Ora però concedimi la forza, di sopportare
Ciò che non voglio!

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der jagt dahin, daß die Rosse schnaufen,
Der muß im Staub daneben laufen;
Aber die Nacht holt beide ein,
Setzt jenen im Traume neben die Rosse
Und den andern in seine Karosse -
Wer fährt nun fröhlicher? Der da wacht,
Oder der blinde Passagier bei Nacht?

5. "Consolazione" dalle "Rime spirituali"
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Là uno guida la caccia, affannando i cavalli,
a un altro tocca di corrergli appresso nel polverone,
ma entrambi sono colti dalla notte
e uno sogna disteso vicino ai cavalli
l'altro sta dentro la sua carrozza.
Chi sarà nel viaggio più felice? Chi sta sveglio,
o il passeggero cieco nella notte?

Gleichwie auf dunklem Grunde
Der Friedensbogen blüht,
So durch die böse Stunde
Versöhnend geht das Lied.

6. Meditazione 2 dalla "Vita di poeta"
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Come dalla scura terra
sboccia l'arcobaleno,
così nei più tristi momenti
procura conforto un canto sereno.
