Alla caccia dell'alme e de'cori

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE

Aria I
Alla caccia dell'alme e de'cori
la barbara Clori,
Amanti, s'en va.

Già i lacci dispone,
le reti già stende,
al varco v'attende
quell'empia beltà.

Recitativo
Ma sia crudele o infida, oh Dio, mi piace.
E sebben sia spietato,
da quel bel volto, o cor, tu sei legato.

Aria II
Preso sei, mio cor piagato,
 non sperar, non sperar più
 dalla bella servitù
 di poter spiegar il volo.
Consolar bensì tu puoi
 ché a provare i lacci suoi
 non sei primo e non sei solo.

À la chasse des âmes et des cœurs

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

 Aria I
À la chasse des âmes et des cœurs,
la barbare Cloris,
vous les amoureux, est partie.

Déjà les pièges sont disposés,
déjà les filets sont déployés,
sur le seuil elle vous attend,
cette beauté impie.

 Récitatif
Mais qu'elle soit cruelle ou perfide, oh Dieu, elle me plaît.
Et même si elle est sans pitié,
à ce beau visage, ô cœur, tu es lié.

 Aria II
Il est pris, mon cœur blessé,
ne plus espérer, ne plus espérer
de cette belle servitude
pouvoir prendre son envol.
Peux-tu être consolé
qu'éprouver ses pièges
tu n'es ni le premier ni le seul.
