Non giacinti o narcisi

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE

Non giacinti o narcisi,
ma piccioletti fior siamo, ch'Amore
mand'a voi, di beltà candido fiore.
O se 'l sol de' vostr'occhi,
pur un poco ne tocchi,
saran vil alghe poi
e narcisi e giacint'a fronte a noi.

Ni jacinthes ni narcisses

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

Ni jacinthes ni narcisses nous ne sommes,
Mais de petites fleurs qu'Amour
Vous a envoyées, fleur de blanche beauté.
Oh, si le soleil de vos yeux
Pouvait seulement nous toucher un peu,
Alors de viles algues seraient
Les narcisses et les jacinthes en face de nous.
