a flea has wounded  
a flea has wounded  
the white breast of my Phoenix,
the white breast of my Phoenix,
on which, as you know, you have been using your weapons
on which, as you know, you have been using your weapons
for a long time, and you never wounded it.
for a long time, and you never wounded it.

Depon l'arco e l'orgoglio,
Amor ch'à te non lice,
Mai piu chiamarti valoros'ardito,
Poich'un' pulce ha ferito
Il bianco petto della mia fenice,
Che già gran tempo sai,
Che l'arme spendi e nol piagasti mai.
 

English.png English translation

Put down your bow and your pride,
Love, for you may
never again call yourself bold and daring:
a flea has wounded
the white breast of my Phoenix,
on which, as you know, you have been using your weapons
for a long time, and you never wounded it.
(Tr. Ruth I. DeFord)
