L'amante consolato

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE

Son tanto ito cercando
che pur alfin trovai
colei che desiai
duramente penando,
Oh questa volta sì ch'io non m'inganno,
s'io non godo mio danno!

Son tali quei contenti
che pur alfin io provo
che tutto mi rinovo
doppo lunghi tormenti.
Ma tutti com'io fo far non sapranno
chi non gode suo danno.

L'amant consolé

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

J'ai cherché si longtemps
qu'à la fin j'ai trouvé
celle que je désirais
en souffrant durement.
Oh, cette fois, que je ne me trompe pas,
que je ne me réjouisse pas à mon détriment.

Ces délices sont tels,
ceux que je ressens enfin,
que tout est renouvelé en moi
après de longs tourments.
mais tous ne peuvent pas faire comme moi 
eux qui ne peuvent se réjouir de leur chute.
