Lyrics

A. Branduardi / Dai 'Canti carnascialeschi' di Lorenzo De Medici detto Il Magnifico
Quest' Bacco e Arianna
belli e l’un dell’altro ardenti:
perch ll tempo fugge e inganna,
sempre insieme stan contenti.
Queste ninfe e altre genti
sono allegre tuttavia.
Chi vuoi esser lleto, sia:
di doman non c' certezza.
Questi lieti satiretti
delle ninfe innamorati,
per caverne e per boschetti
han loro posto cento agguati;
or, da Bacco riscaldati,
ballan, saltan tuttavia.
chi vuoi esser lieto, sia:
di doman non c' certezza.
Queste ninfe anche hanno caro
da lor essere ingannate;
non pu fare a amor riparo
se non gente rozze e ingrate;
ora, insieme mescolate,
suonan, cantan tuttavia.
Chi vuoi esser lieto, sia:
di doman non c' certezza.
Mida vien dietro a costoro:
ci che tocca or diventa.
E, che giova aver tesoro,
s’altri poi non si contenta?
Che dolcezza vuoi che senta
chi ha sete tuttavia?
Chi vuoi esser lieto, sia:
di doman non c' certezza.
Donne e giovinetti amanti,
viva Bacco e viva Amore!
Ciascun suoni, balli e canti!
Arde di dolcezza il core!
Non fatica! Non dolore!
Ci c’ha a esser convien sia.
Chi vuoi esser lieto, sia:
di doman non c' certezza.
Quant' bella giovinezza
che si fugge tuttavia!
Chi vuoi esser lieto, sia:
di doman non c' certezza.

Lyrics translation

A. Branduardi / from the' Carnascialeschi songs ' by Lorenzo De Medici called The Magnificent
This Bacchus and Arianna
beautiful and each other fiery:
because time flees and deceives,
always together stan happy.
These nymphs and other people
they are cheerful though.
Who do you want to be lleto, be it:
of doman there is no certainty.
These happy satire
of nymphs in love,
for caves and for Groves
they have placed a hundred ambushes on them;
now, by heated Bacchus,
ballan, they jump though.
who do you want to be pleased, be:
of doman there is no certainty.
These nymphs also have expensive
by their being deceived;
you can't make love shelter
if not rude and ungrateful people;
now, mix together,
they play, they sing though.
Who do you want to be pleased, be:
of doman there is no certainty.
Mida comes after them:
there that touches or becomes.
And, what good to have treasure,
what if others aren't happy?
What sweetness do you want me to feel
who is thirsty though?
Who do you want to be pleased, be:
of doman there is no certainty.
Women and young lovers,
Long Live Bacchus and Long Live Love!
Each sounds, dances and sings!
The heart burns with sweetness!
No fatigue! No pain!
There is to be convien both.
Who do you want to be pleased, be:
of doman there is no certainty.
How beautiful youth
who escapes however!
Who do you want to be pleased, be:
of doman there is no certainty.
