Aure giacche non posso dall' idol mio lontan dirgli il mio duolo con voi portate à volo nel sendi Lidio i miei sospiri ardenti. Ma non fermate o venti temo che le mie fiamme sten prino il vostro gelo è ch'infocato il cielo dall'ardor mio profondo partorir possa un novo incendio al mondo. Il mio cor che sta lontano dalla sfera del suo foco mai non posa e cerca invano trovar quest'in nessun loco. È follia che lontananza sani mai le piaghe al core se più cresce e più s'avvanza in me ogn'or l'aspro dolore. Per far più possenti suoi colpi cupido lontana l'infido la corda dall'arco. Cosi mentr'io varco altre onde altre arene lontan dal mio bene io provo nel core più acuti gli strali del nume d'amore. Tornatemi o catene al bel che mi legò amante fortunata all'or cantar potrò che lontananza vana fa nove piaghe al core e non le sana.

Brises, puisque je ne peux pas À mon idole lointaine dire ma souffrance, Portez avec vous dans votre vol Jusqu'au sein de Lidio mes soupirs ardents. Mais, non, arrêtez, ô vents, Je crains que mes flammes Dissolvent votre fraîcheur, Et que le ciel incandescent De mon ardeur profonde Puisse donner naissance à un nouvel incendie sur la terre. Mon cœur qui est loin De la sphère de son feu Ne repose jamais et cherche en vain À trouver du repos en quelque endroit. C'est folie de croire que l'éloignement Puisse jamais guérir les plaies du cœur, Car chaque heure fait croître et augmenter En moi l'amère douleur. Pour rendre plus puissants Ses coups, Cupidon, Le traître, tient éloignée la corde de l'arc. Ainsi pendant que je franchis d'autres eaux, D'autres rivages loin de mon amour, Je ressens dans mon cœur Plus fortement les flèches Du dieu d'amour. Retournez-moi, ô chaînes, À la beauté qui me lie, Amante fortunée ; alors je pourrai chanter Que la séparation en vain Crée de nouvelles plaies au cœur et ne le guérit pas.
