Qui rise o Tirsi

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE GER

Qui rise, o Tirsi, e qui ver me rivolse
Le due stelle d'Amor la bella Clori;
Qui per ornarmi il crin, de' più bei fiorì
Al suon dele mie canne un grembo colse.
O memoria felice, o lieto giorno.

Qui l'angelica voce e le parole,
C'humiliaro i più superbi Tori;
Qui le Gratie scherzar vidi, e gli Amori
Quando le chiome d'or sparte raccolse.
O memoria felice, o lieto giorno.

Qui con meco s'assise, e qui mi cinse
Del caro braccio il fianco, e dolce intorno
Stringendomi la man, l'alma mi strinse.
Qui d'un bacio ferimmi, e 'l viso adorno
Di bel vermiglio vergognando tinse.
O memoria felice, o lieto giorno.

Ici elle a ri, ô Tirsi

Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)

Ici elle a ri, ô Tirsi, elle a tourné vers moi
Ses deux étoiles d'Amour, la belle Clori ;
Ici pour orner ma chevelure, parmi les plus belles fleurs
Au son de ma flûte elle a cueilli un bouquet.
Ô souvenir heureux, ô jour joyeux.

Ici retentirent la voix angélique et les paroles
Qui humilièrent les plus superbes Tori ;
Ici je vis s'ébattre les Grâces et les Amours
Quand elle rassembla ses mèches d'or éparses.
Ô souvenir heureux, ô jour joyeux.

Ici elle s'assit près de moi, et ici elle m'entoura
De son cher bras la taille et doucement
En me pressant la main, elle saisit mon âme.
Ici d'un baiser elle me blessa, et son visage se para
D'un beau vermillon, de la couleur de l'embarras.
Ô souvenir heureux, ô jour joyeux.
