Lumi, miei cari lumi
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): FRE
Lumi, miei cari lumi,
che lampeggiate un sì veloce sguardo
ch'a pena mira e fugge
e poi torna sì tardo
che 'l mio cor se ne strugge;
volgete a me, volgete
quei fuggitivi rai,
ch'oggetto non vedrete
in altra parte mai
con sì giusto desio,
che tanto vostro sia quanto son io.

Yeux, dont la lumière
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Yeux, dont la lumière
Qui lancez un si rapide regard
Qu'à peine il voit qu'il s'enfuit
Puis revient si lentement
Que mon cœur se consume,
Tournez vers moi, tournez
Ces rayons fugitifs,
Car vous ne verrez pas d'autre objet
Ailleurs
Avec un si juste désir,
Qui soit autant à vous que je le suis.
