Luca Marenzio - Solo e pensoso - текст песни (слова), перевод

Francesco Petrarca, RVF XXXV
 
 Solo et pensoso i piú deserti campi
 vo mesurando a passi tardi et lenti,
 et gli occhi porto per fuggire intenti
 ove vestigio human l'arena stampi.
 
 Altro schermo non trovo che mi scampi
 dal manifesto accorger de le genti,
 perché negli atti d'alegrezza spenti
 di fuor si legge com'io dentro avampi:
 
 sì ch'io mi credo omai che monti et piagge
 et fiumi et selve sappian di che tempre
 sia la mia vita, ch'è celata altrui.
 
 Ma pur sí aspre vie né sí selvagge
 cercar non so ch'Amor non venga sempre
 ragionando con meco, et io co'llui.
 
 
 Alone and toughtful, the emptiest fields
 I'm measuring with my slow, tardy steps,
 and with my eyes I'm running away
 where not a single footstep is printed in the sand.
 
 I can not find another possible shelter
 to hide me from everybody's awareness,
 because in all my acts, so lacking in joy, 
 it's easy to see, outside, how I'm burning inside;
 
 therefore, I believe that all these mountains and beaches
 and rivers and woods now know very well how cruel
 is my life, which is hidden to men.
 
 But I can not find paths wild and rough enough
 to force Love not to walk on my side:
 He keeps on speaking with me, and I with him.
