Tu piangi, o Filli mia

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG GER

Tu piangi, o Filli mia,
E pensi estinguer quell'ardente fiamma
Che sì dolce m'infiamma.
Ahi, che sì picciol pianto fa che il core
Tanto più avvampi di vivace ardore.

You weep, o my Phyllis

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

You weep, o my Phyllis,
and think you will put out that burning flame
that so sweetly enflames me.
Alas, what a tiny tear makes my heart
burst even more into passionate fire.
