Paroles et traduction Mediæval Bæbes - Trovommi amor

Trovommi amor

Era il giorno ch'al sol si scoloraro
Per la pietà del suo factore i rai,
Quando i' fui preso, et non me ne guardai,
Ché i be' vostr'occhi, donna, mi legaro.

Tempo non mi parea da far riparo
Contra colpi d'Amor: però m'andai
Secur, senza sospetto; onde i miei guai
Nel commune dolor s'incominciaro.

Trovommi Amor del tutto disarmato
Et aperta la via per gli occhi al core,
Che di lagrime son fatti uscio et varco:

Però al mio parer non li fu honore
Ferir me de saetta in quello stato,
A voi armata non mostrar pur l'arco.

I Found Love

That day when the sun turned pale
With pity for its maker's woes,
I was captured, all unaware,
For your beautiful eyes bound me, lady.

No time did I have to defend myself
Against love's blows, so I went
Secure, without suspicion, and my woes
Began with the universal sorrow.

Love found me completely unarmed
With the way to my heart laid open through my eyes,
Which are made the door and passage of my tears:

Therefore, I think it brought him no honor
To wound me with an arrow in that state
And not even show his bow to you, who were armed.
