4. La Partenza  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ecco quel fiero istante:
  Nice, mia Nice, addio.
  Come vivrò ben mio,
  Così lontan da te?
    Io vivrò sempre in pene,
  Io non avrò più bene: 
  E tu, chi sa se mai
  Ti sovverrai di me! 

Soffri che in traccia almeno 
  Di mia perduta pace 
  Venga il pensier seguace
  [Sull']1 orme del tuo piè.
    Sempre nel tuo cammino,
  [Sempre m' avrai]2 vicino;
  E tu, chi sa se mai 
  Ti sovverai di me! 

Io fra remote sponde 
  Mesto volgendo i passi,
  Andrò chiedendo a i sassi,
  La Ninfa mia dov' è? 
    Dall' una all' altra Aurora 
  Te andrò chiamando ognora;
  E tu, chi sa se mai
  Ti sovverrai di me! 

Io rivedrò sovente
  Le amene piagge, o Nice,
  Dove vivea felice,
  Quando vivea con te.
    A me saran tormento 
  Cento memorie e cento:
  E tu, chi sa se mai
  Ti sovverrai di me! 

Ecco, dirò, quel fonte,
  Dove avvampò di sdegno;
  Ma poi di pace in pegno 
  La bella man mi diè.
    Quì si vivea di speme:
  Là si languiva insieme;
  E tu, chi sa se mai
  Ti sovverrai di me! 

Quanti vedrai giungendo 
  Al nuovo tuo soggiorno,
  Quanti venirti intorno 
  À offrirti amore, e fé! 
    Oh Dio! chi sa fra tanti
 Teneri omaggi e pianti,
 Oh Dio! chi sa se mai 
 Ti sovverrai di me! 

Pensa qual dolce strale, 
  Cara, mi lasci in seno:
  Pensa che amò Fileno
  Senza sperar mercè:
    Pensa, mia vita, a questo 
  Barbaro addio funesto:
  Pensa... Ah chi sa se mai 
  Ti sovverrai di me!

5. La Résolution  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
« D'aimer d'amour tu ferais la folie, 
Douce amitié vaut mieux qu'amour léger. 
Las ! tôt ou tard un amant vous oublie, 
Mais un ami jamais ne peut changer. » 

Ainsi chantait la jeune et tendre Laure. 
Lysis l'entend sans se décourager ;
Espoir d'amour vient lui sourire encore, 
Car Laure est femme et Laure peut changer. 

D'amitié simple empruntant le langage, 
Sous l'innocence il cacha le danger ; 
Baiser d'amour d'amitié fut le gage ; 
Plus ne restait que les noms à changer.

Text Authorship:

  • by Charles Hubert Millevoye (1782 - 1816), "La Résolution"

Confirmed with Les Poëtes français, recueil des chefs-d'oeuvre de la poésie française, Volume 4, Paris, Hachette, 1863, page 134.
