Bevea Fillide mia
e nel ber dolcemente
baci al dolce liquor porgea sovente.

Tutto quel che rimase
lieta mi diede poi
misto con baci suoi:
io 'l bevo, e non so come bevo amore
che dolcemente anch’ei mi bacia il core.
 

English.png English translation

My Phyllis drank
and, in sweetly drinking,
often gave kisses to the sweet liquor.

All that remained
she gave to me, delighted,
mixed with her kisses:
I drink it, and do not know how to drink love
so that it may also sweetly kiss my heart.
 

French.png French translation

Ma Fillis but
et en buvant doucement
elle donna ses baisers à la douce liqueur.

Tout ce qui resta,
elle me le donnait ensuite avec délice,
mêlé à ses baisers;
je bois et ne sais comment boire l'amour
pour qu'il embrasse aussi doucement mon cœmur.
 

German.png German translation

Es trank meine Phyllis,
und während sie voll Anmut trank,
schenkte sie dem süßen Likör viele Küsse.

Alles, was übrig blieb,
gab sie mir freudig,
vermischt mit ihren Küssen.
Ich trinke, und weiß nicht wie, doch trinke ich Liebe,
möge auch sie süß mein Herz küssen.
