La riamata da chi amava

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE

Dormi, o mio dolore,
addormentati, o mia pena,
i sospiri ei pianti affrena,
posa in stabil core.
Pace datevi, o speranze,
acquietatevi, o desiri,
dilungatevi, o martiri,
in eterne lontananze.
Ciego duol mi affliggi a torto,
ch'alle gioie Amor mi vuole
e mi rende il mio bel Sole,
la mia vita, il mio conforto.
Alma mia, riedi a godere
che desir con tanto affetto,
corri, o core, al cor diletto,
torna al ben, torna al piacere,
alma mia, torna al godere

Dors, ô ma douleur

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

Dors, ô ma douleur,
Endors-toi, ô ma peine,
retiens soupirs et cris,
repose dans un cœur paisible.
Soyez en paix, ô espoirs,
calmez-vous, ô désirs,
éloignez-vous, ô tourments,
à une distance éternelle.
Une peine aveugle m'afflige à tort,
car l'amour voulait me réjouir
et me donner mon beau soleil,
ma vie et mon réconfort.
Mon âme, reviens pour réjouir
celui que tu désires avec tant d'affection,
cours, ô mon cœur, vers le cœur chéri,
retourne au bien, retourne au plaisir,
mon âme, retourne au délice.
