Recitative
 Infelice ! già dal mio sguardo si dileguò...
 Partì. La mia presenza l'iniquo non sostenne.
 Rammenta al fine i falli, i torti suoi,
 Risveglia la tua virtù, scordati l'empio traditor !...
 Amante sventurata !... E l'amo pure...
 Così fallace amore, le tue promesse attendi ?
 Tu non mai rendi la rapita quiete ?
 Queste son le speranze e l'ore liete ?

Aria
 Ah ritorna, età dell'oro
 alla terra abbandonata,
 se non fosti immaginata
 nel sognar felicità.
 Fu il mondo allor felice
 che un tenero arboscello,
 un limpido ruscello
 le genti alimentó.
 ah ritorna, bell'età.

 D'amor nel regno
 non v'è contento
 che del tormento
 non sia minor.
 Si scorge appena
 felice speme
 che nuova pena
 la turba ancor.
 An ritourna, bell'età.

Malheureuse ! il a déjà disparu de mon...

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

Recitative
 Malheureuse ! il a déjà disparu de mon regard...
 Il est parti. L'inique ne supportait pas ma présence.
 Souviens-toi enfin de ses fautes, de ses torts,
 Réveille ta vertu, oublie le traître impie !
 malheureuse amante !... Et pourtant je l'aime...
 Ainsi, amour trompeur, tiens-tu tes promesses ?
 Ne rends-tu jamais la tranquillité volée ?
 Est-ce cela, les espoirs et les heures joyeuses ?

Arie
 Ah, reviens, âge d'or
 vers la terre abandonnée,
 si tu n'as pas été imaginé
 en rêvant de bonheur.
 Alors le monde était heureux
 qu'un frêle arbuste,
 un ruisseau limpide
 nourrissaient les gens.
 Ah, reviens, bel âge.

 Dans le royaume de l'amour
 il n'y a aucune joie
 qui du tourment
 ne soit l'inférieure.
 À peine on aperçoit
 un espoir heureux
 qu'une nouvelle peine
 le trouble encore.
 Ah, reviens, bel âge.
