Se al labbro mio non credi

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Se al labbro mio non credi,
Cara nemica mia,
Aprimi il petto e vedi,
Qual sia l'amante cor.

Il cor dolente, afflitto
ma d’ogni colpa privo,
se pur non è delitto
un innocente ardor.

Si tu ne crois pas mes lèvres

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

Si tu ne crois pas mes lèvres,
Ma chère ennemie,
Ouvre-moi le cœur et vois
Combien ce cœur est aimant.

Ce cœur souffrant, affligé,
Mais libre de toute faute,
Ce n'est pas un délit
Qu'une innocente ardeur.
