Liebesqual verschmäht mein Herz

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE ITA

Liebesqual verschmäht mein Herz,
Sanften Jammer, süßen Schmerz;
Nur vom Tücht'gen will ich wissen,
Heißem [Äuglen]¹, derben Küssen.
Sei ein armer Hund erfrischt
Von der Lust, mit Pein gemischt!
Mädchen, gib der frischen Brust
Nichts von Pein und alle Lust.

Insolente e allegro II

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Sdegna il mio cuore ogni pena d'amore, 
ogni lieve lamento, ogni dolce dolore;
Amo soltanto i forti sentimenti,
i baci profondi, le occhiate ardenti.
Che un povero cane si accontenti pure
del piacere accompagnato al dolore.
Ragazza mia, a ogni giovane cuore
non regalare pene, ma soltanto piacere.
