Dolcemente dormiva la mia Clori
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): FRE
Dolcemente dormiva la mia Clori
e intorn'al suo bel volto
givan scherzand'i pargolett'amori.
Mirav'io da me tolto,
con gran diletto lei,
quando dir mi sentei: stolto, che fai?
tempo perduto non s'acquista mai.
Allor io mi chinai così pian piano
e baciandole il viso,
provai quanta dolcezz'ha il paradiso.

Doucement dormait ma Cloris
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Doucement dormait ma Cloris
Et autour de son beau visage
De petits amours voltigeaient et jouaient.
Je la regardais, hors de moi,
Avec un grand plaisir,
Quand j'entendis : « Fou, que fais-tu ?
Le temps perdu ne revient jamais,
Alors, je me penchai, tout doucement,
Et en baisant son visage,
J'éprouvai combien est doux le Paradis.
