Bel piacere è godere
Language: Italian (Italiano)

Bel piacere è godere,
È godere fido amor!
Questo fà contento il core.
Di bellezza non s'apprezza
lo splendor;
Se non vien d'un fido core.

A great pleasure it is to enjoy

A great pleasure it is
to enjoy a faithful love!
This suffices to make the heart happy.
Beauty's splendor is no welcome guest
if it comes not from a faithful heart.
