Mes désirs ne sont point lassés

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: ENG ITA

Mes désirs ne sont point lassés.
Donne-moi tes baisers, maîtresse !
Je n'en aurai jamais assez.
Je veux boire jusqu'à l'ivresse.

Donne-moi tes baisers ! Encor !
Je veux boire à ta lèvre rose.
Tu me dis, et j'en suis d'accord,
Que c'est toujours la même chose ;

Mais c'est toujours nouveau pourtant !
Je suis un buveur peu sévère,
De ceux qui boivent tant et tant
Qu'ils se noient au fond de leur verre.

Folle, il faut te griser aussi.
Laisse-toi donc faire, et sois ivre !
Donne tes baisers, comme si
Tu n'avais plus qu'un jour à vivre.

Dammi i tuoi baci

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

I miei desideri non sono punto logori.
Dammi i tuoi baci mia signora!
Io non ne avrò mai abbastanza.
Ne voglio bere fino all'ebbrezza.

Dammi i tuoi baci ancora!
Voglio bere alle tue labbra rosa!
Tu mi dici, e io sono d'accordo,
Che è sempre la stessa cosa;

Eppure è sempre nuova!
Io sono un bevitore poco rigoroso
Di quelli che bevono tanto e poi tanto
Fino ad annegare nel fondo del bicchiere.

Folle, bisogna stordirti,
Lasciati andare e sii ebbra!
Concedimi i tuoi baci come se
Non avessi più che un giorno da vivere.
