Se il labbro nol dice
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Se il labbro nol dice,
ti parla il sembiante
d’amico costante,
di servo fedel.
Che farsi palese
almen con l’imprese
per esser felice
sol brama dal ciel.

If my lips do not say so
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
If my lips do not say so,
may the countenance
of a faithful friend
and loyal servant
do so for me,
for it only desires from heaven
that it at least become evident
how I may achieve happiness
through my deeds.
