Translation of the song Ergo interest...Quaere superna artist Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Ergo interest, an quis male vivat, an bene?

Does it matter if someone leads a bad or a good life?

Fidelis anima!

Faithful souls!

Cogita vias tuas, facileque, quis tibi sit videbis exitum.

Think of your paths, and you will easily see the end toward which you strive.

Est aliquid, iram promeruisse, an gratiam.

It is no small thing, to have earned anger or satisfaction.

Quaere superna, fuge terrena, non cura reliqua, nil enim sunt.

Search for the heavenly, avoid the earthly, do not worry about the rest. It is useless.

Hoc dabit gaudia, mortis solatia, in cœlis praemia, quae sunt aeterna.

This will give (you) joy, consolation over death and rewards in heaven which are eternal.
