Se tu m'ami

(Sung text for setting by A. Parisotti)

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.

Si tu me amas, si tu suspiras

(Sung text translation for setting by A. Parisotti)

See original

Language: Spanish (Español) after the Italian (Italiano)

Si tu me amas, si tu suspiras
solo por mi, querido pastor,
estoy adolorida por tu sufrimiento;
pero aún así, deleitada en tu amor.

Pero tu piensas que
debería de amarte sólo a ti,
pastorcito, estás sujeto
a engañarte a tí mismo.

 ... 

La hermosa rosa púrpura
que Silvia escogerá hoy;
con la excusa de sus espinas,
mañana, entonces, la despresiará.

Pero el consejo de los hombres
no seguiré,
Sólo porque el lirio me gusta,
no tengo que despreciar las otras flores.
