La giovinetta pianta

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE

La giovinetta pianta
si fa più bell'al sole,
quando men arder suole.
Ma se fin dentro sente
il vivo raggio ardente,
dimostran fuor le scolorite spoglie
l'intern'ardor che la radice accoglie.
Così la verginella
amando si fa bella,
quand'Amor la lusinga e non l'offende.
Ma se 'l suo vivo ardore
la penetra nel core,
dimostra la sembianza impallidita
ch'ardente è la radice de la vita.

La jeune plante

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

La jeune plante
Devient encore plus belle au soleil,
Quand son ardeur brûle moins.
Mais si elle sent profondément à l'intérieur
Le rayon vif et brûlant
Les feuilles décolorées montrent dehors
Le feu intérieur qui atteint les racines.
Ainsi la jeune fille
Qui aime devient si belle
Quand l'amour la flatte et ne la blesse pas.
Mais si sa vive ardeur
La pénètre jusqu"au cœur,
Son aspect pâle montre
Combien est ardent la racine de la vie.
