O primavera, gioventù de l'anno
Language: Italian (Italiano)
O primavera, gioventù de l'anno,
bella madre de' fiori,
d'erbe novelle e di novelli amori,
tu ben, lasso, ritorni,
ma senza i cari giorni
de le speranze mie.
Tu ben sei quella
ch'eri pur dianzi, sì vezzosa e bella;
ma non son io quel che già un tempo fui,
sì caro a gli occhi altrui.

Ô printemps, jeunesse de l'année
Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)
Ô printemps, jeunesse de l'année,
beauté mère des fleurs,
des herbes nouvelles et des nouveaux amours,
tu reviens bien, hélas,
mais sans les chers jours
de mes espoirs.
Tu es bien celui
que tu étais auparavant, si gracieux et si beau ;
mais je ne suis pas celui que j'étais autrefois,
Si cher aux yeux des autres.
