Italian.png Italian text

Amor, e'l ver, fu meco
a dir che quelle ch'i vidi
eran bellezz'al mondo sole,
mai non vendute piu sotto le stelle,
ne si pietosi e si dolci parole s'udiron
mai ne lagrime si belle,
di si begl'occhi uscir mai vid'il sole.

Dutch.png Dutch translation

Amor - het is de waarheid! - was bij mij, om te zeggen, dat de vrouwen
Die ik zag, schoonheden waren, enig ter wereld,
Nooit méér gezien onder de sterren;
Ook hoorde men nooit zo meedogende en zo zoete woorden,
En nooit zag de zon zo schone tranen
Vloeien uit zo schone ogen.

translation by Joannes Stalpaert van der Wiele, Madrigalia (ed. M.C.A. van der Heijden). Tjeenk Willink, Zwolle 1960
