Tutte le bocche belle
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): FRE
Tutte le bocche belle,
in questo nero volto ai baci sfida
la mia nemica infida.
Restanvi i baci impressi
quasi amorose stelle
nel vago oscuro velo,
onde s'amant'il cielo.
O perché non poss'io cangiarm'in lui?
ch'intorno a gl'occhi miei
per mille baci mille stell'avrei.

Toutes les belles bouches
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Toutes les belles bouches
Sont défiées de baiser ce noir visage
Par mon ennemie infidèle.
Les baisers laissent leur impression
Comme des étoiles amoureuses
Sur le beau voile obscur
Qui recouvre le ciel.
Oh, pourquoi ne puis-je pas
Me changer en lui, pour qu'autour de mes yeux
Pour mille baisers j'aurais mille étoiles.
