Italian.png Italian text

S’andasse Amor a caccia,
Grechino a lass’avria per suo diletto
e de le dame seguiria la traccia,
ché vago e pargoletto
è questo come quello
e leggiadrett’e bello.

Vezzosetto Grechino,
se pur vuol tuo destino
ch’egli sia cacciatore,
prendi costei mentr’ella fugge Amore.

English.png English translation

Were Love to go hunting,
he'd bring Grechino along for fun,
and would follow the ladies' tracks,
for the latter is as fair and playful
as the former is graceful
and handsome.

Charming Grechino,
if your fate wishes
that Love be a hunter,
catch that lady as she flees Love.

Translation by Campelli
French.png French translation

Si Amour allait à la chasse,
il aménérait Grechino pour s'amuser
et suivrait les traces des dames,
car l'un est aussi
attrayant et ludique
que l'autre est charmant et beau.

Gracieux Grechino,
si ton destin dicte
qu'Amour soit chasseur,
attrappe-la, cette femme qui fuit Amour.

Translation by Campelli
