L'amante bugiardo
Original Language: Italian
I miei giorni sereni
Infetti col tuo sguardo,
E col sospir bugiardo,
L'aria tu m'avveleni.
Ah, scherza e non schernire,
Ah, mira e non mentire:
Ma falso e menzogner se parli o taci,
I vezzi hai finti e traditori i baci.
Provo dalle bugie
Un'aria tormentata,
Da tue frodi habitata,
E dalle furie mie.
Ah, giura e non mentire,
Ah, taci e non tradire:
Ma falso e menzogner se parli o taci,
I vezzi hai finti e traditori i baci.
English
The Cheating Lover
You infest my peaceful days
with your glances,
and with your deceptive sighs
you poison the air.
Oh, dally without pretense,
oh, look without deception: but you’re false and deceitful whether you speak or remain silent;
your charms are feigned, your kisses treacherous.
The lies make me suffer
a tormented condition,
infused with your falseness
and my derangement.
Oh, affirm without lying,
be silent without betrayal:
but you’re false and deceitful;
your charms are feigned, your kisses treacherous.
