lyrics
Enfin la beauté que j’adore
Me fait connaître en son retour,
Qu’elle veut que je vois encore
Ces yeux pour qui je meurs d’amour.
Mais puisque je revois la beauté qui m’enflamme,
Sortez mes déplaisirs, ôtez-vous de mon âme.
Le ciel voyant que son absence
M’ôte tout mon contentement.
Octroie à ma persévérance
La fin de mon cruel tourmant.
Mais puisque...
Mes maux changez-vous en délices,
Mon coeur arrestez vos douleurs,
Amour, bannissez mes supplices,
Mes yeux ne versez plus de pleurs.
Et puisque...
At last the beauty who I adore
Lets me know upon her return
That she still wishes me to see
Those eyes for which I die of love.
And since I see again the beauty that consumes me,
Be gone, troubles, leave my soul.
Heaven seeing that her absence
Deprives me of my happiness.
Grants because of my perseverance
The end of my cruel torment.
And since...
My woes, change yourselves into delights,
My heart, stop your aching,
Love, banish my torment,
My eyes, cease shedding tears.
And since...
