Se al labbro mio non credi

Se al labbro mio non credi,
Cara nemica mia,
Aprimi il petto e vedi,
Qual sia l'amante cor.
Il cor dolente, afflitto
ma d’ogni colpa privo,
se pur non è delitto
un innocente ardor.
W. Mozart sets stanza 1

My dear enemy,
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
My dear enemy,
if you do not believe my lips,
Open my breast and see
just how loving is this heart:
this heart, wounded and afflicted,
though free of any guilt.
That is, if an innocent passion
is not itself a sin.
