English.png English text

1. Come again! sweet love doth now invite Thy graces that refrain To do me due delight, To see, to hear, to touch, to kiss, to die, With thee again in sweetest sympathy. 2. Come again! that I may cease to mourn Through thy unkind disdain; For now left and forlorn I sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I die In deadly pain and endless misery. 3. All the day the sun that lends me shine By frowns doth cause me pine And feeds me with delay; Her smiles, my springs that makes my joy to grow, Her frowns the winter of my woe. 4. All the night my sleeps are full of dreams, My eyes are full of streams. My heart takes no delight To see the fruits and joys that some do find And mark the stormes are me assign'd. 5. But alas, my faith is ever true, Yet will she never rue Nor yield me any grace; Her Eyes of fire, her heart of flint is made, Whom tears nor truth may once invade. 6. Gentle Love, draw forth thy wounding dart, Thou canst not pierce her heart; For I, that do approve By sighs and tears more hot than are thy shafts Do tempt while she for triumphs laughs.

1. Ritorna! il dolce amore adesso invita Le tue grazie, riluttanti, A darmi il dovuto piacere, A vedere, ad ascoltare, a toccare, a baciare, a morire, Con te ancora nel più dolce cordoglio. 2. Ritorna! ch'io possa fermare i miei lamenti Per il tuo brusco rifiuto; Poiché adesso, perduto e disperso Io siedo, sospiro, piango, svengo, muoio In mortale dolore e infinita miseria. 3. Tutto il giorno il sole che mi porge splendore Con smorfie mi causa dolore E mi ritarda il cuore; I suoi sorrisi, le fonti che accrescono la mia gioia, Il suo cipiglio, l'inverno del mio dolore. 4. Tutta la notte i miei sogni sono pieni di sogni, I miei occhi di lacrime. Il mio cuore non trova gioia Nel vedere i frutti e le gioie che alcuni trovano E ricorda le tempeste a me destinate. 5. Ma ahimé, la mia fede è sempre vera, Eppure lei non si pentirà Né mi concederà grazia; I suoi occhi son di fuoco, il suo cuore di pietra, Né lacrime né fedeltà li possono invadere. 6. Gentile Amore, estrai il tuo dardo che ferisce, Ma non puoi trapassare il suo cuore; Poiché io posso provarti, Che con sospiri e lacrime più caldi delle tue frecce Lo tento, mentre lei ride di trionfo.

1. Vine de nou, dolç amor, ara convido a les teves gràcies que s’abstenen de causar-me delit, a veure, escoltar, tocar, besar, morir, amb tu altre cop en la més dolça simpatia. 2. Vine de nou, així puc deixar de plorar, pel teu cruel desdeny. Ara em sento abandonat i trist. M’assec, sospiro, ploro, defalleixo, moro, en el dolor mortal i la misèria sense fi. 3. Tot el dia el sol que em dóna la seva claror, arrufant el front em fa patir I m’alimenta amb retard; El seu somriure, la font que fa créixer la meva joia, el seu front arrufat, l’hivern de la meva aflicció. 4. Cada nit el meu descans és ple de somnis, els meus ulls són plens de rierols. El meu cor no té delit per veure els fruits i l’alegria que altres troben, i mostren les tempestes que se m’han assignat. 5. Però, ai las!, la meva fe és sempre veritable, encara que mai no es plany tampoc m’ha donat cap gràcia; els seus ulls de foc, el seu cor fet de pedra, les seves llàgrimes ni la veritat poden envair. 6. Tendre Amor, arrenca teu dard feridor, perquè no puc perforar el seu cor; Jo, que m’afanyo amb sospirs i llàgrimes més càlids que la teva fletxa, ho intento mentre ella riu triomfant.

Polish.png Polish translation

1. Wróć! Słodka miłość prosi By wdzięki, których mi wzbraniasz Dały mi należną rozkosz. Widzieć, słyszeć, dotykać, całować, umierać Z Tobą znów w najsłodszym współodczuwaniu! 2. Wróć, bym mógł przestać cierpieć Z powodu twej wzgardy Bo teraz porzucony i opuszczony Siedę, wzdycham, płaczę, mdleję, umieram W śmiertelnym bólu i nieskończonej udręce. 3. Dniem słońce, które użycza mi blasku Dąsa się na mnie I karmi odmową - usycham; Jej uśmiech - wiosną mej radości, Jej dąsy - zimą mej zgryzoty. 4. Nocą mam sny pełne marzeń, Z mych oczu tryskają strumienie. A moje serce nie rozkoszuje się Owocami i radością, jakie znajdują inni Gdy jemu przeznaczone gromy. 5. Lecz niestety, jam wierny na wieki, Choćby nigdy nie miała dla mnie litości Ani nie użyczyła mi żadnego ze swych wdzięków; Jej oczy z płomienia, jej serce z kamienia Którego nie skruszą ani łzy, ani wierność. 6. Szlachetna miłości, choćbyś wypuściła swą strzałę Nie przebijesz jej serca; Wszak moje łzy i westchnienia Gorętsze niż twój promienisty grot Budzą w niej tylko śmiech niskiego triumfu.
