If you arrive in lifeSi arribeu en la vida
farther than I can reach,més lluny d'on pugui arribar,
I will die very jealousmoriré molt gelós
of what you have advanced,del que m'hàgiu avançat,
that I will not be able to resign myselfque no em sabré resignar
to not being the best traveler,a no ser el millor vianant,
the most well-equipped athletel'atleta més fornit
and the most abundant lover.i el més frondós amant.

And do not try to console me,I no em vulgueu consolar,
just tell me, if necessary,només digueu-me, si de cas,
all that you have seentot allò que hàgiu vist
and I will not be able to look at:i jo no podré mirar:
the depth of the riversla fondària dels rius
that my feet will not wet,que els meus peus no mullaran,
the fragrance of the body I will not be able to love,la fragància del cos que no podré estimar,
the immensity of a skyla immensitat d'un cel
in which I have never flown,en el qual mai no he volat,
the sparks of a fireles espurnes d'un foc
that will not have burned me,que no m'hauran cremat,
the boats that on the seales barques que a la mar
I will not be able to marinate.no podré amarinar.

Do not give me comfort,No em doneu consol,
I will not know how to comfort myself.no em sabré consolar.

And because I know that youI perquè sé que vosaltres
will go farther than me,anireu més lluny que jo,
I am jealous and content,estic gelós i content,
very jealous and contentmolt gelós i content
of the luck you have had,de la sort que heu tingut,
of the luck you will have,de la sort que tindreu,
knowing that I have neverque tanmateix sé que mai
been a well-equipped athlete,no he estat fornit atleta,
nor even a worthy lover,ni tan sols digne amant,
just a traveler.només un vianant.
