Our translations: ENG FRE

[Megacle:]
Nei giorni tuoi felici
Ricordati di me.
  [Aristea:]
  Perché così mi dici?
  Anima mia, perché?

[M:] Taci bell'idol mio
  [A:] Parla mio dolce amor
Ah che parlando oh Dio,
  Ah che tacendo oh Dio
[a 2:] Tu mi trafiggi il cor.

Nei giorni tuoi felici...

[a 2:] Veggo languir chi adoro
Né intendo il suo languir.
[M:] Di gelosia mi moro
E non lo posso dir.

[a 2:] Chi mai provò di questo
Affanno più funesto
Più barbaro dolor?

Nei giorni tuoi felici...

Veggo languir...

Dans tes jours heureux

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

[Mégacle :]
Dans tes jours heureux
Souviens-toi de moi.
[Aristée :]
Pourquoi me dis-tu cela ?
Mon âme, pourquoi ?

[M :] Tais-toi, ma belle idole
[A :] Parle-moi, mon doux amour
Ah, quelles paroles, ô Dieu !
Ah, quel silence, ô Dieu !
[Tous les 2 :] Tu me perces le cœur.

Dans tes jours heureux...

[Tous les 2 :] Je vois languir qui j'adore
mais je ne comprends pas sa langueur.
[M :] De jalousie je meurs
Et je ne peux pas le dire.

[Tous les 2 :] Celui qui n'a jamais éprouvé un tel
Chagrin plus fatal,
Une douleur plus barbare ?

Dans tes jours heureux...

Je vois languir...
