| Ah, he didn't believe he was looking at you
|
| si presto estinto, o fiore;
| it soon became extinct, o flower;
|
| passasti al par d’amore,
| you passed to the par of love,
|
| che un giorno sol (o) duro.
| than one hard day.

| il pianto mio recarti
| my tears go to you
|
| ma ravvivar l’amore
| but revive love
|
| il pianto mio, ah no, non puo.
| my cry, ah no, it can't.
|
| Ah, non giunge uman pensiero
| Ah, no human thought comes
|
| al contento ond’io son piena:
| to the content that I am full:
|
| a miei sensi io credo appena;
| to my senses I hardly believe;
|
| tu m’affida o mio tesor.
| you entrust me, my treasure.
|
| Ah, mi abbraccia, e sempre insieme,
| Ah, he hugs me, and always together,
|
| sempre uniti in una speme,
| always united in a hope,
|
| della terra, in cui viviamo
| of the earth, in which we live
|
| ci formiamo un ciel d’amor. | we form a heaven of love. |
