Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio!

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG FRE GER SPA

Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio!
Qual è l'affanno mio;
Ma mi condanna il fato
A piangere e tacer.
Arder non pù il mio core
Per chi vorrebbe amore
E fa che cruda io sembri,
Un barbaro dover.
Ah conte, partite,
Correte, fuggite
Lontano da me;
La vostra diletta
Emilia v'aspetta,
Languir non la fate,
È degna d'amor.
Ah stelle spietate!
Nemiche mi siete.
Mi perdo s'ei resta.
Partite, correte,
D'amor non parlate,
È vostro il suo cor.

Je voudrais expliquer, ô Dieu !

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

Je voudrais expliquer, ô Dieu !
Quel est mon problème ;
Mais le destin me condamne
À pleurer et à me taire.
Mon cœur ne peut brûler
Pour celui que je voudrais aimer
Et fait que je semble cruelle,
Et barbare.
Ah, comte, partez,
Courez, fuyez
Loin de moi ;
Votre chère
Émilie vous attend,
Ne la laissez pas languir,
Elle est digne d'amour.
Ah, étoiles sans pitié !
Vous m'êtes hostiles.
Je suis perdue s'il reste.
Partez, courrez,
Ne parlez pas d'amour,
Son cœur est vôtre.
