Se Florindo è fedele

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG FRE GER POR SPA

Se Florindo è fedele 
io m'innamorerò.

Potrà ben l'arco tendere 
il faretrato arcier,
Ch'io mi saprò difendere 
d'un guardo lusinghier.
Preghi, pianti e querele, 
io non ascolterò.
Ma se sarà fedele 
io m'innamorerò.

Se Florinda for fiel

Language: Portuguese (Português) after the Italian (Italiano)

Se Florinda for fiel, 
Eu me inamorarei.

Poderá esticar bem o arco
O trêmulo arqueiro, 
Que eu saberei me defender
De um olhar tentador.
Pedidos, prantos e queixas
Eu não ouvirei, 	
Mas se for fiel, eu me inamorarei.
