Non son in queste rive

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE

Non son in queste rive
fiori così vermigli
come le labra de la donna mia.
Né 'l suon de l'aure estive,
tra fonti e rose e gigli,
fan del suo canto più dolce armonia.
Canto che m'ardi e piaci,
t'interrompano solo i nostri baci.

Sur ces rives il n'y a pas

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

Sur ces rives il n'y a pas de
Fleurs aussi vermeilles
Que les lèvres de ma dame.
Le son des brises de l'été
À travers les fontaines, les roses et les lys
Ne font une harmonie plus douce que son chant.
Chant qui m'enflamme et m'apaise,
Ne t'interromps que pour nos baisers.
