Rose d'amour, nouvelle éclose, Languit dans le creux du vallon, Nulle, de mémoire de rose, N'a tant souffert de l'Aquilon. Epoux sauvage, il la tourmente; Son amour ressemble au courroux; Et Zéphire, dont elle est l'amante, Lui promet des baisers plus doux. Rose d'amour décolorée Va succomber à ses douleurs; Sur sa chute prématurée L'aurore en vain répand des pleurs; Demain (triste métamorphose!) Le premier rayon du soleil De celle qui fut une rose En vain attendra le réveil. Rose d'amour! ta déstinée De l'amour obtint un soupir; Un mystérieux hyménée Unit et la fleur et Zéphyr: Zéphyr, à l'heure où tout repose, Trompa le jaloux aquilon; Au plaisir il rendit la rose, Et son ornement au vallon.

Rosa d’amor, tot just desclosa, s’esllangueix al fons de la vall, ningú, amb memòria de rosa, ha sofert tant per l’Aquiló. Espòs salvatge, ell la turmenta; el seu amor s’assembla a una fellonia; i Zèfir, del qui ella és l’amant, li promet besades més dolces. Rosa d’amor descolorida sucumbirà dels seus dolors; damunt el seu caïment prematur l’aurora vessa endebades els seus plors; demà, trista metamorfosi! El primer raig del sol de qui fou una rosa en va esperarà el despertar. Rosa d’amor! El teu destí de l’amor aconseguí un sospir; un misteriós himeneu va unir la flor i el Zèfir: Zèfir, a l’hora en què tot reposa, enganyà el gelós Aquiló; amb plaer retornà la rosa i el seu ornament a la vall.
