Cuando tan hermosa os miro

Language: Spanish (Español)

Our translations: FRE

Cuando tan hermosa os miro
De amor suspiro, 
Y cuando no os veo, 
Suspira por mí el deseo.
Cuando mis ojos es ven 
Van a gozar tanto bien;
Más como por su desdén
De los vuestros me retiro,
De amor suspiro; 
Y cuando no os veo,
Suspiro por mi deseo.

Quand je vous vois si belle

Language: French (Français) after the Spanish (Español)

Quand je vous vois si belle,
Je soupire d'amour,
Et quand je ne vous vois pas,
Le désir soupire pour moi.
Quand mes yeux vous voient,
Ils ressentent tant de plaisir ;
Mais quand à cause de votre mépris
Je me retire des vôtres,
Je soupire d'amour ;
Et quand je ne vous vois pas,
Le désir soupire pour moi.
