I miei giorni sereni infetti col tuo sguardo e col sospir bugiardo l'aria tu m'avveleni. Ah, scherza e non schernire, ah, mira e non mentire! Ma falso e menzogner se parli o taci, i vezzi hai finti e traditori i baci. Provo dalle bugie un'aria tormentata da tue frodi abitata e dalle furie mie. Ah, giura e non mentire, ah, taci e non tradire! Ma falso e menzogner se parli o taci, i vezzi hai finti e traditori i baci.

Mes jours paisibles sont infectés par ton regard et par tes soupirs menteurs tu empoisonnes l'air. Ah, plaisante te ne te moque pas, ah, regarde et ne mens pas ! Mais tu es faux et menteur que tu parles ou te taises, tes charmes sont feints, tes baisers enjôleurs. Par tes mensonges j'éprouve un sort tourmenté, habitée par tes tromperies et par mes colères. Ah, jure et ne mens pas, ah, tais-toi et ne trahis pas ! Mais tu es faux et menteur que tu parles ou te taises, tes charmes sont feints, tes baisers enjôleurs.
