Troppo ben può questo tiranno Amore
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): FRE SPA
Troppo ben può questo tiranno Amore,
poiché non val fuggire
a chi no'l può soffrire.
Quando i' penso talor com'arde, e punge,
i' dico: «Ah core stolto,
non l'aspettar; che fai?
Fuggilo sí, che non ti prenda mai.»
Ma non so com'il lusinghier mi giunge,
ch'io dico: «Ah core stolto,
perché fuggito l'hai?
Prendilo sí, che non ti fugga mai.»

Tanto puede este tirano Amor
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Tanto puede este tirano Amor
que de nada vale huir de él
a quien no puede tolerarlo.
Cuando a veces pienso como me inflama y aguijonea,
me digo: “Ah, tonto corazón,
¡No lo esperes!¿Qué haces?
Huye de él, si, que nunca te prenda.”
Pero (no sé cómo) el adulador me ronda
y entonces digo: “¡Ah, tonto corazón!
¿Por qué has huido de él?
¡Préndelo, si, que jamás de tí huya!”
