by Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475 - 1564)
Translation by Heinrich Nelson

S'a tuo nome ho concetto alcuno immago
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
S'a tuo nome ho concetto alcuno immago,
Non è senza del par seco la morte,
Onde l'arte e l'ingegno si dilegua.

Ma se, quel c'alcun crede, i' pur m'appago
Che si ritorni a viver, a tal sorte
Ti servirò, s'avvien che l'arte segua.

Gemahnt dein Name mich an deine Züge
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Gemahnt dein Name mich an deine Züge,
Dann kommt zugleich der Tod mir in den Sinn,
Und Kunst und Geist, sie sinken machtlos nieder.

Doch wenn ich in dem Glauben mich begnüge,
Daß es ein Wiederkehren gibt, so dien' 
Ich gerne dir, kehrt nur die Kunst auch wieder.
