Alessandro Parisotti – Se tu m'ami, se sospiri

English translation

Italian

Original lyrics

Se tu m'ami, se sospiri

Se tu m'ami, se tu sospiri

Sol per me, gentil pastor,

Ho dolor de' tuoi martiri,

Ho diletto del tuo amor,

Ma se pensi che soletto

Io ti debba riamar,

Pastorello, sei soggetto

Facilmente a t'ingannar.

Bella rosa porporina

Oggi Silvia sceglierà,

Con la scusa della spina

Doman poi la sprezzerà.

Ma degli uomini il consiglio

Io per me non seguirò.

Non perché mi piace il giglio

Gli altri fiori sprezzerò.

Translation#1#2

If you love me, if you sigh for me

If you love me, if you sigh

for me, gentle shepherd,

your pain hurts me,

yet I delight in your love.

But if you think that

I must return my love only to you,

then, shepherd boy, you are

easily deceived.

A beautiful purple rose

Silvia will choose today -

because of its thorns,

she will despise it tomorrow.

But men's advice

I will not follow.

Just because I love the lily,

I will not despise the other flowers.
