Vattene, vita, va, dicea piangendo,
Dove non sia chi t’odi o chi ti sdegni;
Lasciami, so che non è ben ch’essendo
Compagnia così rea, meco ne vegni;

Vattene, vita, va, ch’io non intendo
Che una altra volta ad esser vil m’insegni;
Ne vò per prolungar tue frali tempre
Uccider l’alma nata a viver sempre.

Geh fort, Leben, geh, sagte er weinend, dorthin, wo dich keiner
haßt und verachtet. Verlaß mich! Ich weiß, daß es nicht gut ist,
wenn du mit mir kommst, schändliche Begleitung, die du bist.

Geh fort, Leben, geh, weil du mich nicht noch einmal lehren
sollst, feige zu sein, und ich will nicht zur Erhaltung deines
gebrechlichen Wesens meine Seele töten, die zum ewigen Leben
geboren ist.
