by Gaudenzio Brunacci (1631 - 1667)

Donne belle
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  FRE
Donne belle e vanità
il dire ch'il core
al male d'amore
rimedio non ha.
Altri ha fede alla speranza
altri al tempo i voti porge
altri pure alfin s'accorge
che non valla lontananza.
Io ch'a prova il fè per pietà
vel dirò il rimedio
d'Amor: è l'incostanza
e credetelo a me, che così sta.
Donne belle.
Non tormenta gelosia
credeltà son crucia il seno
siasi Adone, o sia Bireno
mai dira la sorte è ria.
Tal sempre in libertà
alfin s'accorgerà
che'l doresi d'Amore è una follia
e credetelo a me, che così sta.
Donne belle.
