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 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.
