Estuans interius
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  ITA SPA
II. IN TABERNA

Estuans interius
ira vehementi
in amaritudine
loquor mee menti:
factus de materia,
cinis elementi,
similis sum folio,
de quo ludunt venti.

Cum sit enim proprium
viro sapienti
supra petram ponere
sedem fundamenti,
stultus ego comparor
fluvio labenti,
sub eodem tramite
nunquam permanenti.

Feror ego veluti
sine nauta navis,
ut per vias aeris
vaga fertur avis;
non me tenent vincula,
non me tenet clavis,
quero mihi similes
et adiungor pravis.

Mihi cordis gravitas
res videtur gravis;
iocus est amabilis
dulciorque favis;
quicquid Venus imperat,
labor est suavis,
que nunquam in cordibus
habitat ignavis.

Via lata gradior
more iuventutis,
inplicor et vitiis
immemor virtutis,
voluptatis avidus
magis quam salutis,
mortuus in anima
curam gero cutis.

Ardente l'animo (Baritono)
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the Latin 
II. ALL'OSTERIA

Ardente l'animo
d'ira violenta,
nell'amarezza
parlo a me stesso:
fatto di carne
sostanza di cenere,
sono una foglia
gioco dei venti.

Se infatti è costume
dell'uomo sapiente
porre su pietra
le sue fondamenta,
io, stolto, mi sento
come un fiume che scorre,
che lungo il suo corso
mai trova riposo.

Sono una nave
senza nocchiero,
son un uccello
sbattuto dal vento;
senza legami,
mai sotto chiave,
cerco i miei simili,
banda di  pravi.

Un animo austero
mi appare assai duro;
il gioco mi è caro
più dolce del miele;
servire Venere
è fatica soave,
che non è gradita
in un cuore vile.

La via larga scelgo
giovinezza lo vuole,
indugio nei vizi,
non curo virtù,
bramo i piaceri
più della salvezza,
morto nell'anima
la carne assecondo.
