Deh, lascia anima homai
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Deh, lascia anima homai,
lascia le imprese vane
e le voglie mondane,
che t'an condotta
in tanti amari guai;
alhor cantar potrai
de la vera speranza
il pregio altero;
ella non ama il canto
se non scorge il cor santo:
lascia il torto sentiero
e poscia dir di lei,
volgi il pensiero.

Oh, âme laisse maintenant
Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)
Oh, âme laisse maintenant
laisse les vains projets
et les désirs terrestres
qui t'a conduite
dans tant d'ennuis amers ;
alors tu pourras chanter
de la vraie espérance
la haute valeur ;
elle n'aime pas le chant
s'il ne montre pas le cœur pur :
laisse le mauvais chemin
et alors vers lui
tourne ton esprit.
