Deh, coprite il bel seno
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): GER
Deh, coprite il bel seno,
Che per troppo mirar l’alma vien meno!
Ahi! no'l coprite, no, che l’alma avezza
A viver di dolcezza
Spera, mirando, aita
Da quel bel sen che le dà morte e vita.

Himmel, verhüllt Euren schönen Busen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Himmel, verhüllt Euren schönen Busen;
ich werde schwach, seh’ ich ihn zu lange an!
Ach, zeigt ihn offen, nein, denn mein Herz
sollte mit dieser Süße leben können.
Schauend erhofft es Hilfe
von dieser schönen Brust, die mir Tod und Leben ist.
