Non ho il core all’arti avvezzo

Available translation(s): ENG
Non ho il core all’arti avvezzo;
non v’è ben per me sincero,
se comprar si deve a prezzo
d’innocenza e di candor.
Qual acquisto è che ristori
dall’angustie, da’ timori,
dal disprezzo di sé stesso,
dall’accuse d’un rossor.

Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
I do not have a heart accustomed to deceit.
I cannot see any genuine gain to be had
if I had to purchase it at the price
of my innocence and candor.
Such a purchase would be repaid
by anguish, fears,
by self-deprecation,
by accusing shameful blushes.
