The Fifth Heaven [English translation]

As across a cloudless, pure, and tranquil sky

From time to time there darts a sudden fire,

Moving out eyes, previously fixed,

And it seems a star changing place...

How could those substances be deaf to just

Requests, who, so as to give me the will to beg

them fell silent with one accord?

It is well that he grieve without end who, for

Love of a thing that does not last eternally, divests

Himself of that other love.

As across a cloudless, pure, and tranquil sky

From time to time there darts a sudden fire,

Moving out eyes, previously fixed,

And it seems a star changing place...

As across a cloudless, pure, and tranquil sky

From time to time there darts a sudden fire,

Moving out eyes, previously fixed,

And it seems a star changing place...

In the place where it began no star is lost, and it

Lasts but little.

In the place where it began no star is lost, and it

Lasts but little.
