Godere, e tacere

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE

Giosca al gioir nostro
E l'aura e l'onda
Scherzin tra l'erbe e i fiori
I lascivetti Amori
A nostri dolci canti
Eccho risponde
In questo lieto e fortunato giorno
Volin le Grazie intorno
vengan sul labbro i cori
E s'annodino l'alme
Al suon de' baci
Ah, non dir più
Mia lingua, taci.

Jouir et se taire

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

Réjouissez-vous de notre joie,
vent et onde,
jouez à travers l'herbe et les fleurs,
petits amours lascifs,
À nos doux chants
Que l'écho réponde.
Dans ce jour joyeux et heureux
que les Grâces volent tout autour
sur les lèvres et les cœurs
et que les âmes se nouent
à coups de baisers.
Ah, ne dis plus rien
ma langue, tais-toi.
