Meine Tage sind leichter dahingeflogen denn die Weberspule und sind vergangen, daß kein Aufhalten dagewesen ist.
Y mis días fueron más ligeros que la lanzadera del tejedor, Y fenecieron sin esperanza.
Mis días pasan más veloces que la lanzadera del tejedor y se acaban sin esperanza.
Mes jours sont plus rapides que la navette du tisserand, Ils s'évanouissent: plus d'espérance!
I miei giorni son passati via più leggermente che la spola del tessitore, E son venuti meno senza speranza
Os meus dias são mais velozes do que a lançadeira do tecelão, e acabam-se, sem esperança.
我的日子比織布的梭更快, 都消耗在沒有指望之中。
