L'Amante Timido eccitato

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE

T'invito à godere
mio core e paventi?
Avezzo ai tormenti
io sdegno il piacere
Ardisci e godrai
(à 2:) chi non s'arrischia non gioisce mai.

Il bene hai presente
mio cor che tu brami?
À gioie tu chiami
chi gioie non sente
Ardisci e godrai
(à 2:) chi non s'arrischia non gioisce mai.

L'inuito ti piace
mio cor ne ti affretti?
Vò pian coi diletti
ch'il bene e fallace
Ardisci e godrai
(à 2:) chi non s'arrischia non gioisce mai.

L'amant timide excité

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

Je t'invite à te réjouir,
mon cœur, et tu as peur !
Habitué aux tourments,
je méprise le plaisir.
Ose et tu te réjouiras.
( à 2) Celui qui ne prend pas de risque ne se réjouira jamais.

Tu as maintenant le bien,
mon cœur, que tu désires.
Tu m'appelles pour des joies
moi qui ne ressent pas de joie.
Ose et tu te réjouiras.
( à 2) Celui qui ne prend pas de risque ne se réjouira jamais.

L'invitation te plaît,
mon cœur, pourquoi ne te hâtes-tu pas ?
Je vais lentement avec les plaisirs
car le bien est fallacieux.
Ose et tu te réjouiras.
( à 2) Celui qui ne prend pas de risque ne se réjouira jamais.
