Original text and translations
English text 1. Pastime with good company |
Italian translation 1. Amo passare il tempo in buona |
Portuguese translation Passatempo em boa companhia, |
German translation
Zeit verbringen in guter Gesellschaft,
liebe ich und werde es lieben bis zu meinem Tod.
Diejenigen, die allen Lastern nachgehen, lehne ich ab.
Zu meinem Zeitvertreib jage, singe und tanze ich,
mein Herz ist voll von bester Kurzweil,
wer soll mich daran hindern?
Die Jugend braucht ihre Tändelei
Und guten oder schlechten Zeitvertreib.
Gesellschaft ist das beste Mittel,
alle Gedanken und Gelüste auszuleben.
Denn der Müßiggang führt zum Laster,
und es ist klar, dass nur Fröhlichkeit und Spiel das Beste ist.
Gesellschaft mit Ehrlichkeit ist tugendhaft,
die Laster sind zu meiden,
Gesellschaft kann gut oder schlecht sein,
aber jeder Mann hat seinen freien Willen.
Das Beste sichere ich mir,
das Schlechteste vermeide ich,
mein Geist soll so beschaffen sein:
Ich übe mich in Rechtschaffenheit,
weise das Laster zurück, so will ich mich verhalten.
* gruch: archaic form of grudge.
