Oh, how empty our steps
Oh, how empty our steps
If we descend into vanity

O quam inanes gressus nostri
Qui labimur in vanitates
& impios amores!
Quid titubamus caeci
& perdimus aeterna
Ut terrestria bona fluxa retineamus?
Insani sumus & similes ferarum
Ni nascimur in vitam sempiternam.

O come vaneggiate donna
Pensand’ havermi tolto il core
Con torme il vostr’ amore.
Chi non ha core è morto
Et io son accorto
D’esser tanto più vivo
Quando di voi son privo.
Anzi ero morto e quando vi lasciai
Rinacqui sì ch’io non morrò più mai.
 

English.png English translation

Oh, how empty our steps
If we descend into vanity
and love the wicked!
If we stumble blindly
And lose the eternal
for a transient hold on earthly goods?
we are insane And no better than animals
If we are not born to eternal life.
