Van den Budenmayer: Concerto en mi mineur - SBI 152 - Version de 1798

O voi che siete in piccioletta barca
Desiderosi d'ascoltar, seguiti
Dietro al mio legno che cantando varca

Non vi mettete in pelago, ché forse
Perdendo me, rimarreste smarriti
L'acqua ch'io prendo già mai non si corse
Minerva spira, e conducemi Appollo
E nove Muse mi dimostran l'Orse

Van den Budenmayer: Concerto en mi mineur - SBI 152 - Version de 1798

Oh, thou who art in a tiny boat,
Eager to listen, follow,
Behind my boat that sails singing.

Do not venture into the open sea, for perhaps
If you lose me, you will be lost.
The water I sail has never been traversed.
Minerva inspires, and Apollo guides me,
And the nine Muses show me the Great Bear.
