Original text and translations

April is in my mistress' face,
And July in her eyes hath place;
Within her bosom is September,
But in her heart a cold December.

German.png German translation

April ist im Antlitz meiner Gebieterin,
Und Juli steht in ihren Augen.
In ihrem Busen trägt sie den September,
Aber im Herzen einen kalten Dezember.

Translation by Peter Rottländer
Italian.png Italian translation

Aprile è nel viso della mia amata,
E Luglio trova spazio nei suoi occhi;
Nel suo petto è Settembre,
Ma nel suo cuore un freddo Dicembre.

French.png French translation

C'est avril dans le visage de ma mie
Dans ses yeux juillet a pris place
En son sein on devine septembre
Mais un froid décembre en son coeur.
