Non ti voglio amar

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE

Amar non mi vuoi più, -ma come mai
sfioro, pur a caso, la tua man,
provi una scossa, e pallido ti fai
solo ch'io ti rigardi da lontan?

Perchè, sia che a la chiesa o a spasso io vada,
t'incontro ad ogni svolta? di'perchè
sempre piantato làggiù ne la strada
con quelli occhioni tuoi rivolti a me?

Bimbolo se un guardo, solo ti rivolgessi
di quelli, sai? che ti facean gelar:
se una sola parola io ripetessi,
diresti ancora: non ti volio amar?

Je ne veux pas t'aimer

Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)

Tu ne veux plus m'aimer, mais pourquoi
Quand j'effleure ta main par hasard
Éprouves-tu un frisson, et que tu palis
Seulement si je te regarde de loin ?

Pourquoi si je vais à l'église ou si je vais m'amuser
Je te rencontre à chaque tournant ? Dis pourquoi
Toujours tu es planté dans la rue
Avec tes yeux tournés vers moi ?

Petit garçon, si je t'adressais un regard, un seul,
Comme ceux, tu sais ? qui te pétrifiaient :
Si je répétais une seule parole,
Dirais-tu encore : non je ne veux pas t'aimer ?
