Più non si trovano

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: DUT ENG FIN FRE

Più non si trovano
[Fra]¹ mille amanti
Sol due bell'anime
Che sian costanti,
E tutti parlano
Di fedeltà.

E il reo costume
Tanto s'avanza
Che la costanza
Di chi ben ama
Ormai si chiama 
Semplicità.

On ne trouve plus

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

On ne trouve plus
Parmi mille amants
Fût-ce deux belles âmes
Qui soient constantes,
Et tous parlent 
De fidélité !

Et le coupable usage
Se répand tellement
Que la constance
De celui qui aime honnêtement
On l'appelle désormais 
naïveté.
