Se tu m'ami, se sospiri

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 me amas, si suspiras

(Sung text translation for setting by A. Vivaldi)

See original

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

Si me amas, si suspiras 
sólo por mí, gentil pastor, 
estoy dolorida por tus martirios, 
estoy deleitada por tu amor, 

pero si piensas que sólo 
a ti deba amar, 
pastorcillo, eres 
fácil de engañar.

 ... 

Una bella rosa púrpura 
hoy escogerá Silvia, 
con la excusa de la espina 
mañana la despreciará. 

Pero el consejo de los hombres 
para mí no seguiré. 
No porque el liro me guste 
otras flores despreciaré.
