Lyrics & English Translation
Surrounded by my colours
I was painting one day
when my Muse
came to torment me.
With sadness then I left
my happy task
of celebrating the charms
of the fair Nice.
My Muse asked me to depict
a more spiritual subject;
but she asked in vain,
for I could not do so.
With sadness then I left
my happy task
of celebrating the charms
of the fair Nice.
An inconstant heart
may know beauty,
but its cruel destiny
prevents it from singing.
With sadness then I left
my happy task
of celebrating the charms
of the fair Nice.
