In faccia all'oggetto
Language: Italian (Italiano)
In faccia all'oggetto,
che m'arde d'amore,
dovrei sol diletto
sentirmi nel core,
ma sento un tormento,
che intender non so.
Quel labbro, che tace,
quel torbido ciglio
la cara mia pace
già mette in periglio,
già dice, che solo
penare dovrò.

In the face of my beloved
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
In the face of my beloved
who causes love to burn brightly in me,
I should only feel delight
in the depths of my heart.
But I feel a certain torment
which I cannot possibly understand.
My accustomed peace
is now disturbed
by that silent lip
and moody brow.
I already know that
I must prepare for anguish.
