Se per estrem'ardore
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): FRE
Se per estrem'ardore
morir potesse un core,
saria ben arso il mio
fra tanto incendio rio.
Ma come salamandra nel mio foco
vivo per la mia donna in festa e 'n gioco.
E se m'avien talora
che per dolcezza i' mora,
mercé d'Amor risorgo qual fenice
sol per viver ardend'ognor felice.

Si d'une passion extrême
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Si d'une passion extrême
Un cœur pouvait mourir,
Le mien serait brûlé
Par un tel embrasement.
Mais comme une salamandre dans mon feu
Je vis pour ma dame joyeusement et en jouant.
Et s'il advenait
Que par douceur je meure,
Grâce à Amour je me relèverai tel le phénix
Seulement pour vivre heureux toujours dans les flammes.
