Bei labbri che Amore

  Bei labbri, che Amore
formò per suo nido,
non ho più timore,
vi credo, mi fido:
giuraste d'amarmi;
mi basta così.
  Se torno a lagnarmi
che Nice m'offenda,
per me più non splenda
la luce del dì.

by Pietro Metastasio (1698-1782) [pseudonym] , from La gelosia

Suloiset huulet, jotka Rakkauden jumala

Suloiset huulet, jotka Rakkauden jumala
muotoili omaksi asuinsijakseen,
en enää pelkää teitä.
Uskon teitä, luotan teihin:
Te vannoitte rakastavanne minua;
se riittää minulle.
Jos milloinkaan valittaisin,
että Nice olisi loukannut minua,
niin älköön päivänvalo
koskaan enää loistako minulle.
