Se per fuggir da me cervo ti fai
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): FRE
Se per fuggir da me cervo ti fai,
Leone mi farò per arrestarti;
E se uccello in aria volerai,
Io falco mi farò per ripigliarti;
E se pesce nelle acque noterai,
Io rete mi farò per ripescarti;
E se alfin lume ti sarà concesso,
Farfalla mi farò per starti appresso.

Si pour me fuir tu te fais cerf
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Si pour me fuir tu te fais cerf,
Je me ferai lion pour t'arrêter ;
Et si tu volais comme un oiseau dans les airs,
Je me ferais faucon pour te reprendre ;
Et si poisson dans l'eau
Je me ferai filet pour te repêcher ;
Et si enfin la lumière t'étais accordée,
Je me ferais papillon pour rester avec toi.
