Language: English after the Latin
Our translations: FRE SPA
Man that is born of a woman hath but
A short time to live, and is full of misery.

He flee'th as it were a shadow, and ne'er
Continueth in one stay.

Hombre que naces de una mujer
Language: Spanish (Español) after the English
Hombre que naces de una mujer
tu vida es breve, llena de sufrimiento.
floreces y en plena vida te cortan cual flor;
pasas como una sombra, nunca
permaneces.
