Se tu m'ami

(Sung text for setting by S. Gendel)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG FRE GER POR SPA SPA

Se tu m'ami, se sospiri
Sol per me, gentil Pastor;
Ho dolor de' tuoi martiri,
Ho diletto del tuo amor.

Ma se pensi che soletto
Io ti debba riamar;
Pastorello, sei soggetto
Facilmente a t'ingannar.

 ... 

Bella Rosa porporina
Oggi Silvia sceglierà;
Con la scusa della spina
Doman poi la sprezzerà.

Ma degli Uomini il consiglio
Io per me non seguirò;
Non perché mi piace il Giglio
Gli altri Fiori sprezzerò.

Se tu me amas, se sospiras

(Sung text translation for setting by S. Gendel)

See original

Language: Portuguese (Português) after the Italian (Italiano)

Se tu me amas, se sospiras
Somente por mim, gentil Pastor;
Tenho pena de teu martírio, 
Tenho predileção pelo teu amor:

Mas, se pensas que somente a ti
Eu deveria amar, 
Pastorzinho, estás sujeito
Facilmente a te enganares.

 ... 

A Bela Rosa vermelha
Hoje Sílvio escolherá,
Com a desculpa do espinho
Amanhã então a desprezará.

Mas, dos homens, o conselho
Eu, por mim, não seguirei, 
Não é porque me agrada o Lírio	
Que as outras flores desprezarei.
