Con le belle non ci vuol fretta

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE

Mi tien Filli sin qui
ne ben detto di nò
ne ben detto di sì
Amore eh che farò
aspetto ò lascio

Amor non mi risponde
ma mi dice la speme
Aspetta
con le belle a goder non ci vuol fretta
vien' il bene tal'hor
ne si sà donde
Non sai tù che consola
L'amante di molt' anni un hora sola.

Avec les belles il ne faut pas être pressé

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

Jusqu'ici Phyllis me tient,
elle n'a pas dit non,
elle n'a pas dit oui,
Amour, que dois-je faire,
attendre ou abandonner ?

Amour ne m'a pas répondu
mais l'espoir m'a dit
Attends.
Avec les belles il ne faut pas être pressé,
Parfois le bonheur vient
on ne sait d'où.
Ne sais-tu pas que peut être récompensé
l'amant qui a aimé pendant de longues années par une seule heure ?
