Celia has a thousand charms
Language: English
Available translation(s): SPA
Celia has a thousand charms:
'Tis heaven within her arms.
While I stand gazing on her face
Some new and some resistless Grace
Fills with fresh magic all the place.
But while the nymph I thus adore,
I should my wretched fate deplore.
But, oh, Mirtillo, have a care,
Her sweetness is beyond compare.
But then she's false as well as fair.
Have a care, Mirtillo, have a care.

Celia tiene mil encantos
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the English
Celia tiene mil encantos:
¡Es el paraíso en sus brazos!
Mientras permanezco contemplando su rostro
alguna gracia irresistible
llena de mágica frescura el lugar.
Pero al adorar así a la Ninfa,
Mi desdichado destino lamentaría.
Pero, ó Mirtillo, ten cuidado,
su dulzura excede toda comparación.
Mas ella es tan falsa como bella,
¡Ten cuidado Mirtillo, ten cuidado!
