Se vittorie sì belle han le guerre d'amore, fatti guerrier mio core. E non temer degl'amorosi strali le ferite mortali. Pugna, sappi ch'è gloria il morir per desio de la vittoria.

Si de si belles victoires Ont les guerres d'amour, Deviens un guerrier, mon cœur. Et ne crains pas des flèches d'amour Les blessures mortelles. Combats, en sachant qu'il est glorieux De mourir par désir de la victoire.
