------------------------------------

Qual nocchier che in gran procela,
Non s'affanna e non favella,
É vicino a naufragar

É vicino all'ore estreme
Quell'infermo che non geme
E ha cagion di sospirar 

------------------------------------

This navigator who, in the middle of a great storm,
Does not busy himself and who keeps quiet
Is close to shipwreck

He is very close to the final hour,
The ill one does not wail
And he is right to sigh
