Amor dormiglione

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE

Amor, non dormir più!
Su, su, svegliati omai,
che mentre dormi tu
dormon le gioie mie, vegliano i guai.
Non esser, non esser, Amor, dappoco!
Strali, strali, foco,
strali, strali, su, su,
foco, foco, su, su!

O pigro o tardo
tu non hai senso,
Amor melenso
Amor codardo!
Ahi quale io resto
che nel mio ardore
tu dorma Amore:
mancava questo!

L'amour dormeur

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

Amour, ne dors plus !
Allons, allons, réveille-toi maintenant,
car pendant que tu dors
mes plaisirs dorment, mes ennuis veillent.
Ne sois pas, Amour, un bon à rien !
Des flèches, des flèches, du feu,
des flèches, des flèches, allons, allons,
du feu, du feu, allons, allons !

Ô paresseux, ô que tu es lent,
tu n'as pas de sens commun,
Amour niais,
Amour peureux !
Ah, pendant que je reste
avec mon ardeur,
tu dors, Amour :
c'est le bouquet !
