Non giova il sospirar
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Non giova il sospirar, no,
Non lagrimar per me.
Tirsi più tuo non è,
Licori infida;
Godi del nuovo amor.
Troverà tirsi ancor
Ninfa, se non più bella,
Almen di te più fida, sì.

Sighing is useless now
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Sighing is useless now
Don't long for me,
Tirsi won't be yours any more,
Treacherous Licori,
Triumphant of your new lover,
And so Tirsi will have to search for
If not a Nymph prettier than you
At least more reliable, that'll be sure.
