Available translation(s): FRE
Questo specchio ti dono,
rosa tu dam'or che l'età consente,
ch'io colga il tuo bel fior primo ridente.
Se ciò non voi, te mira,
cara fanciull'ivi due volt'e poi,
o caduc'onor tuoi,
vermiglia in sul matin, bell'e gentile,
di sera ti vedrai pallida e vile.

Ce miroir, je te le donne
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Ce miroir, je te le donne,
Rosa, toi, laisse-moi, maintenant que tu as l'âge,
Cueillir ta première belle fleur en souriant.
Si tu ne veux pas, regarde-toi,
Chère fillette, deux fois, et alors,
Ô charmes éphémères,
Vermeille le matin, belle et gracieuse,
Le soir, tu te verras pâle et commune.
