Se tu mi lassi, perfida, tuo danno
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): FRE
Se tu mi lassi, perfida, tuo danno:
non ti pensar che sia
misera senza te la vita mia.
Misero ben sarei
se miseria stimasse e non ventura
perder chi non mi cura
e ricovrar quel che di me perdei.
Misera e tu, che per novell'amore
perdi quel fido core,
ch'era più tuo che tu di te non sei.
Ma 'l tuo già non perd'io,
perché non fu mai mio.

Si tu me quittes, perfide, ce sera ta souffrance
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Si tu me quittes, perfide, ce sera ta souffrance,
Ne pense pas que
Ma vie sera malheureuse sans toi.
Je serai certainement malheureux
Si j'estime la misère et pas la chance
De perdre quelqu'un qui ne se soucie pas de moi,
Et de retrouver la part de moi que j'ai perdue.
Tu seras malheureuse car avec un nouvel amour
Tu as perdu ce cœur fidèle
Qui était plus le tien que toi à toi-même.
Mais je n'ai pas perdu ton cœur,
Car il n'a jamais été mien.
