TRIUMPH OF BACCHUS AND ARIADNE

 

How beautiful is youth,

who flees though!

Who wants to be happy, either :

tomorrow there is no certainty .

This is Bacchus and Ariadne is this ,

beautiful , and the other is one of the burning :

because time is running out and deceives ,

together they are always happy.

These nymphs and other people

are cheerful , however .

Who wants to be happy, either :

tomorrow there is no certainty .

These are happy satyrs ,

nymphs love,

for caves and thickets

they have laid ambushes percent ;

now heated by Bacchus ,

dance, jump , however .

 

Who wants be happy :

tomorrow there is no certainty .

These nymphs also have dear

be deceived by them :

Love cannot give the shelter,

if not rude and ungrateful people :

Now mix together

play, sing , however .

 

Who wants to be happy, either :

tomorrow there is no certainty .

This burden, which comes after

above the donkey is Silenus :

so old he is drunk and happy ,

Already a meat and also he is full of years ;

if you cannot stand right, at least

laughs and enjoys however.

 

Who wants to be happy, either :

tomorrow there is no certainty .

Midas is behind them :

what touches becomes gold .

And what good is it to have a baby,

if we do not make more then happy?

How sweet that you want to hear

However, those who are thirsty ?

 

Who wants to be happy, either :

tomorrow there is no certainty .

Each well open your ears ,

tomorrow no one eats ;

Today we , young and old ,

pleased everyone , females and males ;

every evil thought that it falls :

However, we are celebrating .

 

Who wants to be happy, either :

tomorrow there is no certainty .

Women and youths lovers,

Hooray, hooray Bacchus and Love !

Each sounds , dancing and singing !

That burn sweetness of my heart!

No effort, no pain!

What needs to be understood that either.

Who wants to be happy, either :

tomorrow there is no certainty .
