Original text and translations

Italian.png Italian text

La bocca onde l’asprissime parole
solean uscir ch’ir mi facean dolente
vie più di quante mai fur sotto il sole,
or nutre l’alma mia soavemente
d’odor di fresche rose e di viole,
cui cede ogn'altro che l’Arabia sente,
e d’ambrosia e di nettare si pasce,
ché tra le perle e i bei rubini nasce.

English.png English translation

The mouth whence the harshest words
used to flow, and hurt me so
many more times than ever were days under the sun,
now delicately nourishes my soul
with the scent of roses and violets,
sweeter than any Arabian perfume,
and it feeds on ambrosia and nectar,
for it is born amidst pearls and beautiful rubies.

French.png French translation

La bouche, dont les plus âpres paroles
coulaient souvent, me donnant tant de douleur,
bien plus nombreuses que celles que le soleil a vues,
nourrit maintenant mon âme doucement
de l'odeur de roses et de violettes,
bien plus douce que tout parfum d'Arabïe,
et s'alimente d'ambrosie et nectar,
car elle naît parmi perles et beaux rubis.
