Ninfe se liete
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Ninfe se liete
viver bramate,
Non gli credete,
Non vi fidate:
È un traditore,
V'ingannerà.
Tutto promette,
Nulla mantiene;
E quando ha strette
Le sue catene,
Mai più d'un core
Non ha pietà.

Nymphs, if happily
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Nymphs, if you really want
To live happily,
Don't trust him,
Don't believe him.
He's a betrayer,
He'll deceive you.
Makes every promise,
Keeps none of them;
And when he's tightened
His fetters on you,
He'll never have pity
On any heart.
