E cosí a poco a poco
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): FRE SPA
E cosí a poco a poco
torno farfalla semplicetta al foco,
e nel fallace sguardo
un'altra volta mi consum'e ardo:
Ah, che piaga d'amore
quanto si cura piú tanto men sana.
Ch'ogni fatica è vana,
quando fu punto un giovinetto core
dal primo, e dolce strale;
chi spegne antico incendio il fa immortale.

Et ainsi peu à peu
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Et ainsi peu à peu
je retourne, papillon naïf, vers le feu,
et dans ce regard trompeur
une fois de plus je me consume et me brûle.
Celui qui souffle un feu ancien le rend immortel.
Ah, une blessure d'amour,
plus on la soigne, moins on la guérit.
Toute peine est vaine
quand un jeune coeur est percé
par la première douce flèche ;
celui qui souffle un feu ancien le rend immortel.
