Amor non si fugge

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE

Cara Filli, quella tu sei ch'adoro,
per te sola, per te languisco e moro.
Ben vid'io ch'un guardo adesca
Ch'allettando il seno adugge,
ma pur ardo e 'l cor si strugge
che non fugge d'amor chi seco tresca.
Cara Filli, quella tu sei ch'adoro,
per te sola, per te languisco e moro.
S'è il languir colpo d'amore
fuggirò s'amor m'assale,
ma 'l fuggir, ohimè, che vale?
Non si scioglie dal pie' laccio del core.
Cara Filli, quella tu sei ch'adoro,
per te sola, per te languisco e moro.

Amour ne se fuit pas

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

Chère Phyllis, tu es celle que j'adore,
pour toi seule, pour toi je languis et je meurs.
Je vois bien qu'un regard charmant,
en attirant, oppresse mon cœur,
pour cela je brûle et mon cœur se consume.
Ceux qui intriguent cela ne fuient pas l'amour. 
Chère Phyllis, tu es celle que j'adore,
pour toi seule, pour toi je languis et je meurs.
Si la flèche pleine de chagrin de l'amour, 
je la fuis, l'amour m'assaille.
mais le fuir, hélas, à quoi bon ?
On ne peut défaire du pied le collet du cœur.
Chère Phyllis, tu es celle que j'adore,
pour toi seule, pour toi je languis et je meurs.
