Original text and translations

Italian.png Italian text

Piagn’ e sospira; e quand’ i caldi raggi
fuggon le gregi a la dolc’ ombr’ assise,
ne la scorza de’ pini o pur de’ faggi
segnò l'amato nome in mille guise;
e de la sua fortuna i gravi oltraggi
e i vari casi in dura scorza incise;

e in rilegendo poi le proprie note
spargea di pianto le vermiglie gote.

English.png English translation

She weeps and sighs; and when the sheep abandon
the warm rays, resting in the gentle shade,
on the bark of pines or beeches
she wrote the beloved name in a thousand ways;
and carved in hard bark the deep offenses
and the many twists of her fortune;

and then, reading her own messages again
she watered his vermilion cheeks with tears.

Czech.png Czech translation

Plakala a vzdychala: a když horké paprsky
vyhnaly stáda do sladké stínu náruče,
do kůry borové a na kmeny dubů
značila natisíckrát to milované jméno.
a nešťastný svůj osud a krutá ponížení
od štěstěny do tvrdé kůry vyryla.
A pak, když si své zprávy znovu přečetla,
Vzlykajíc zmáčela znovu svá rudá líčka.
