Non ti doler, mio cor

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE

Non ti doler, mio cor,
se provi in tuo servir pene e martori:
una produsse Amor
che fu Barbara sempre e tu l'adori.
Se rimedio non ha
la piaga ch'è mortal, me solo incolpo:
e qual spero pietà
se da Barbara man mi viene il colpo?
Così comanda il ciel:
amo chi m'odia e ne languisco e moro,
seguo chi m'e infedel
e Barbara beltà supplice adoro.

Ne souffre pas, mon cœur

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

Ne souffre pas, mon cœur,
si tu éprouves dans ton service peines et tourments.
Amour a produit une
qui fut toujours barbare et tu l'adores.
S'il n'y a pas de remède
pour la blessure mortelle, je suis le seul coupable.
Et quelle pitié espérer
si le coup vient d'une main barbare ?
Ainsi commande le ciel :
j'aime qui me hait et je languis et je meurs pour cela.
Je suis qui m'est infidèle
et j'adore en suppliant une beauté barbare.
