Malìa

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG SPA SPA

Cosa c'era ne 'l fior che m'hai dato?
forse un filtro, Un arcano poter?
Nel toccarlo, il mio core ha tremato,
m'ha l'olezzo turbato il pensier.
Ne le vaghe movenze, che ci hai?
Un incanto vien forse con te?
Freme l'aria per dove tu vai,
spunta un fiore ove passa 'l tuo piè.

Io non chiedo qual plaga beata
fino adesso soggiorno ti fu:
non ti chiedo se Ninfa, se Fata,
se una bionda parvenza sei tu!
Ma che c'è nel tuo sguardo fatale ?
Cosa ci hai nel tuo magico dir?
Se mi guardi, un'ebbrezza m'assale,
Se mi parli, mi sento morir!

Embrujo

Language: Spanish (Español) after the Italian (Italiano)

¿Que había en la flor que me diste?
¿Quizás un hechizo, un arcano poder?
Al tocarlo, mi corazón ha temblado
Su aroma me ha turbado el pensamiento.
¿Que había en tus delicados movimientos?
¿Viene un encanto contigo?
Tiembla el aire por donde pasas
nace una flor donde pisa tu pié

No pregunto en que santa región
Has vivido hasta ahora
No pregunto si ninfa, si bruja
Si una rubia aparición eres tu
Mas, ¿que hay en tu mirada fatal?
¿Que hay en tu mágico hablar?
¡Si me miras, una emoción me asalta
Si me hablas, me siento morir!
