Journey of the companions

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

A higher state of knowledge

You are now approaching,

Wandering firmly on your path,

Knowing that it is the path of wisdom.

Only the serene man

May approach the source of light.

Take, o Pilgrim, as an escort

Your brother's blessing.

Let caution be always on your side,

And curiosity guide your steps!

Constantly test yourself and never become

Dependent on the insanity of lazy blindness.

The journey of life is certainly rough,

But sweet is also its reward,

Which the wanderer does await, wisely knowing

That his journey will increase it.

Happy is he who can say:

There is a light upon my life's road!
