Original text and translations

Italian text Non sono in queste rive fiori così vermigli come le labbra de la donna mia, né 'l suon de l'aure estive tra fonti e rose e gigli fa del suo canto più dolce armonia. Canto che m'ardi e piaci, t'interrompano solo i nostri baci!

English translation There are upon these shores no flowers as red as my mistress’ lips, nor does the sound of summer winds amidst fountains, roses, and lilies produce sweeter harmonies than her singing. Song that inflames and pleases me, may our kisses alone interrupt you. Translation by Campelli

French translation Il n’y a sur ces rives de fleurs aussi vermeilles que les lèvres de mon amoureuse. Ni le son de vents d'été entre fontaines, roses et lis produit harmonie plus douce que son chant. Chant, tu qui m’avives et me plais, rien ne t’interrompt, sauf nos baisers. Translation by Campelli
