Ahi, cara e dolce lingua, Ahi, vita mia, a questo bianco seno,
Ah, cara e doce língua, Ah, vida minha, a estes brancos seios, |
Ah! dear, dainty tongue, Ah, my love, to this white breast
Ah, tongue so dear and sweet, Ah, my love, upon this snowy breast |
German translation
Übersetzung: Peter Rottländer
Ja, ich möchte sterben,
jetzt, wo ich in Liebe
den schönen Mund meines geliebten Herzens küsse.
Ah, teure und süße Zunge,
Gebt mit so viel Feuchte,
daß ich mich vor Wonne in diesem Busen ersticke.
Ah, mein Leben,
An diesen weißen Busen,
ach, drückt mich, bis ich ohnmächtig werde.
Ah Mund, ah Küsse, ah Zunge, ich sage abermals:
Ja ich möchte sterben.
