Rendete agli occhi mei, o fonte o fiume

Rendete agli occhi [mei]1, o fonte o fiume,
L'onde della non vostra e salda vena,
Che più v'innalza e cresce, e con più lena
Che non è 'l vostro natural costume.
E tu, folt'aïr, che 'l celeste lume
Tempri a' [trist'occhi]2, de' sospir [mie]1 piena,
Rendigli al cor [mie]3 lasso e rasserena
Tua scura faccia al [mie]3 visivo acume.
Renda la terra i passi alle mie piante,
Ch'ancor l'erba germugli che gli è tolta,
E 'l suono eco, già sorda a' [mie]1 lamenti;
Gli sguardi agli occhi mie [tuo luce]4 sante,
Ch'io possa altra bellezza un'altra volta
Amar, po' che di me non ti contenti.

Sonetas XXXVIII
Language: Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Grąžinkit, upės ir upeliai, mano žvilgsniui
Bangas jums nepriklausančios tvirtos tėkmės,
Kuri mane pakeltų ir nuneštų su jėga,
Neįprasta ramiausiai prigimčiai jūsiškei.
Tu, rūke, kuris dangiškąją šviesą
Užtemdei mano žvilgsniui varganam, atodūsiais užlietam,
Grąžink ją širdžiai iškamuotai ir nuskaidrink
Akims manosioms savo veidą tamsų.
Grąžink, o žeme, tu žingsnius manosioms kojoms
Kad vėl žolė suželtų, kur ištrypta buvo,
Grąžink garsus, maldoms manoms kurčiasis aide.
Aštrumą mano žvilgsniui tegrąžina tavo šventos akys,
Kad kartais kitą grožį aš pamilt galėčiau -
Tavęs juk nepatenkina buvimas su manim.
