Si si ch'io v'amo, occhi vaghi, occhi belli
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Sì, sì, ch'io v'amo
occhi vaghi, occhi belli;
si, si, ch'io bramo
vosti nodi tenaci,
aurei capelli,
  e null'altro desio
  che sia vostro il mio cor
  come egli è mio.

Sì, sì, ch'io spero
occhi dolci occhi amati
sì, sì, ch’è vero
ch’ogn’hor voglio adorarvi
occhi beati
  e null'altro desio
  che sia vostro il mio cor
  come egli è mio.

Sì, sì, ch'ardete
occhi lieti occhi cari
sì, sì, che sete
occhi fonti d’amore
del sol più chiari
  e null'altro desio
  che sia vostro il mio cor
  come egli è mio.
