O bella Clori

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: GER

O bella Clori,
Clori mia bella,
Fiamma novella
Di mille cori,
Questi occhi vaghi
D’Amor ricetto,
Con che m’impiaghi
Di gioia il petto,
Vedrò giamai
Pietosi a li miei guai.

Questo bel viso
Di rose tinto,
Ove dipinto
Sta il Paradiso,
Sarà mai vero,
Che pietà spiri
Giusto pensiero
De’ miei martiri?
O viso amato,
Tu mi puoi fa beato.

Questi crin d’oro
D’Amor catene,
D’ogni mio bene
Sono il tesoro;
Tra lor legato
Vive il mio core,
Et in tal stato
Arde d’Amore.
O dolce rete,
Voi preso mi tenete.

O schöne Chloris

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)

O schöne Chloris,
Chloris, du Schöne,
neue, unverbrauchte Flamme
tausender Herzen,
diese schönen Augen,
in denen die Liebe wohnt,
die mein Herz mit Wunden
der Lust bedecken,
werden sich
meines Kummers nie erbarmen.

Dies schöne Antlitz,
mit rosigem Teint,
auf dem das Paradies
gemalt ist,
wird es jemals
Mitleid zeigen,
wahres Verstehen
meiner Qual?
O geliebtes Antlitz,
du kannst mich selig machen.

Diese goldenen Locken,
Ketten der Liebe,
sind mir das Liebste
all meiner Schätze:
verflochten in sie
ist mein Herz,
und ist so
in Liebe entbrannt.
O süßes Netz,
du hältst mich gefangen.
