La bocca onde l'asprissime parole
Language: Italian (Italiano)
La bocca onde l'asprissime parole
solean uscir ch'ir mi facean dolente
vie più di quante mai fur sotto il sole,
or nutre l'alma mia soavemente
d'odor di fresche rose e di viole,
cui cede ogn'altro che l'Arabia sente
e d'ambrosia e di nettare si pasce,
ché tra le perl'e i bei rubini nasce.

La bouche d'où les paroles les plus âpres
Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)
La bouche d'où les paroles les plus âpres
Ont l'habitude de sortir et me faisaient aller souffrant
Sur plus de chemins qu'il n'y en a jamais eu sous le soleil,
Maintenant nourrit mon âme suavement
Du parfum des roses fraîches et des violettes
Qui l'emporte sur toute senteur venant d'Arabie ;
Elle se nourrit de l'ambroisie et du nectar
Qui naissent parmi les perles et les magnifiques rubis.
