So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

also habe ich wohl ganze Monden vergeblich gearbeitet, und elender Nächte sind mir viel geworden.
Así poseo yo meses de vanidad, Y noches de trabajo me dieron por cuenta.
así me han tocado meses vacíos y me han sido asignadas noches de aflicción.
Ainsi j'ai pour partage des mois de douleur, J'ai pour mon lot des nuits de souffrance.
Così mi sono stati dati per eredità de’ mesi molesti; E mi sono state assegnate per parte mia notti penose.
Assim me deram por herança meses de vaidade; e noites de trabalho me prepararam.
我也照樣度過虛空的歲月, 愁煩的夜晚指定給我。
