Volgea l'anima mia soavemente
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Volgea l'anima mia soavemente
quel suo caro, e lucente
sguardo, tutto beltà tutto desire,
verso me scintillando, e parea dire:
«Damm'il tuo cor, ché non altronde io vivo.»
E mentre il cor sen vola ove l'invita
quella beltà infinita,
sospirando gridai: «Misero, e privo
del cor, chi mi dà vita?»
Mi rispos'ella in un sospir d'amore:
«Io, che son il tuo core.»

Mon âme a tourné doucement
Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)
Mon âme a tourné doucement
ce si cher et brillant
regard, de toute beauté, de tout désir,
brillant vers moi, et semblant dire :
« Donne ton cœur, car je ne vis pas ailleurs. »
Et pendant que le cœur volait où l'invitait
cette beauté infinie,
en soupirant je criais : « Malheureux et privé
de cœur, qui me donne la vie ? »
Mais elle répondit avec un soupir d'amour :
« Moi, qui suis ton cœur. »
