Così non la voglio

Così non la voglio: 
Di te, ria fortuna, 
Nemica mia sorte, 
Pur troppo mi doglio, 
Così non la voglio.
Lusingando i miei pensieri, 
Mi prometti alte speranze, 
Ma poi rigidi e severi, 
Trovo i fatti alle sembianze. 
Cerco il porto d'amor, ma incontr'un scoglio. 
Così non la voglio...
Vezzeggiando le mie brame, 
Credo haver propitio amore, 
Ma nutrendo in sen le fiamme, 
Martirizzo questo core. 
Tento scioglier il piè, ma più l'imbroglio.
Così non la voglio...

Je ne veux pas qu'il en soit ainsi

Je ne veux pas qu'il en soit ainsi :
À cause de toi, fortune mauvaise,
Ennemie de mon sort,
Je souffre trop,
Je ne veux pas qu'il en soit ainsi.
En flattant mes pensées,
Tu me promets de grandes espérances,
Mais ensuite  rigides et sévères
Je trouve les faits en réalité.
Je cherche le port d'amour, mais je rencontre un roc.
Je ne veux pas qu'il en soit ainsi...
En flattant mes désirs,
Je crois que j'ai trouvé un amour propice,
Mais en nourrissant dans mon sein ces flammes
Je martyrise mon cœur.
J'essaie de me libérer, mais je suis encore plus attaché.
Je ne veux pas qu'il en soit ainsi...
