Quell'augellin che canta
sì dolcemente e lascivetto vola
[ora dall'abete]1 al faggio,
ed or dal faggio al mirto,
s'avesse umano spirto,
direbbe: "Ardo d'amore, ardo d'amore."
Ma ben arde nel core
[e parla in sua favella,
sì che l'intende il suo dolce desio.
Ed odi a punto, Silvio,
il suo dolce desio
che gli risponde: "Ardo d'amore anch'io."]2

1 Monteverdi: "or da l'abete"
2 Monteverdi:
e chiam'il suo desio
che li rispond': «Ardo d'amor anch'io.»
Che sii tu benedetto,
amoroso, gentil, vago augelletto.

Ce petit oiseau qui chante
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Ce petit oiseau qui chante
si doucement et vole plein de désir,
maintenant du sapin au hêtre,
et maintenant du hêtre au myrte,
s'il avait un esprit humain,
il dirait : « je brûle d'amour, je brûle d'amour. »
Mais il brûle dans son cœur
et il appelle son désir
qui lui répond : « Je brûle d'amour aussi. »
Sois béni,
petit oiseau amoureux, gentil et gracieux.
