Beato quei che fido amor

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE

Beato quei che fido amor
Mai seppe meritar!
Ei solcherà senza timor
Di questa vita il mar.

Dovunque lo conduca il ciel,
Gli ride dolce fior;
La gioja non là cuopre un vel,
Si scema ogni dolor.

Ei sente l'alma divam par
Di generoso ardir;
Il vero ei puote sol amar,
Del bello sol gioir.

Felice chi ad un fido sen
Può cheto riposar,
E negl' occhietti del suo ben
Contento si specchiar!

Che in mezzo agli disa striancor
Quel sol gli riderà,
Ed a più bella calma oror
Tutto gli tornerà.

Heureux celui qui d'amour

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

 Heureux celui qui d'amour
 fidèle a su se montrer digne!
 C'est sans crainte aucune
 qu'il sillonnera la mer.

 Où que le conduise le ciel,
 une douce fleur lui sourit.
 Aucun voile ne recouvre sa joue; 
 toute douleur s'apaise.

 Son âme peut s'enflammer
 d'un généreux courage;
 Il faut se consacrer au Vrai;
 il peut jouir du Beau.

 Heureux celui qui sur un sein fidèle
 peut reposer, confiant,
 et dans les tendres yeux de son aimée
 se contempler avec plaisir.

 Au milieu des pires désastres, 
 ce soleil-là continuera de lui sourire
 et très vite, pour lui,
 le calme reviendra.
