Giunse alfin il momento Che godrò senza affanno In braccio all'idol mio! Timide cure, Uscite dal mio petto, A turbar non venite il mio diletto! Oh, come par che all'amoroso foco L'amenità del loco, La terra e il ciel risponda! Come la notte i furti miei seconda! Deh, vieni, non tardar, o gioia bella, Vieni ove amore per goder t'appella. Finché non splende in ciel notturna face Finché l'aria è ancor bruna e il mondo tace. Qui mormora il ruscel, qui scherza l'aura, Che dolce sussurro il cor ristaura; Qui ridono i fioretti, e l'erba è fresca: Ai piaceri d'amor qui tutto adesca. Vieni, ben mio: tra queste piante ascose Ti vo' la fronte incoronar di rose.

Le moment arrive enfin où je vais connaître le bonheur sans souci dans les bras de mon amour. Craintes timides, sortez de mon cœur, ne venez pas troubler mon plaisir ! Oh, comme au feu de mon amour le charme du lieu, la terre et le ciel répondent, comme la nuit favorise mon stratagème ! Ah, viens, ne tarde pas, ô quelle joie ! Viens où l'amour t'appelle pour prendre du plaisir. Tant que ne brille dans le ciel le visage nocturne, Tant que l'air est encore sombre et que le monde se tait. Ici murmure le ruisseau, ici plaisante l'atmosphère, Qui d'un doux murmure rétablit le cœur ; Ici rient les petites fleurs, et l'herbe est fraîche, Aux plaisirs de l'amour ici tout incite. Viens, mon bien-aimé, cachés parmi ces plantes ! Viens, je veux couronner ton front de roses !
