Vaga luna, che inargenti queste rive e questi fiori ed inspiri agli elementi il linguaggio dell'amor; testimonio or sei tu sola del mio fervido desir, ed a lei che m'innamora conta i palpiti e i sospir. Dille pur che lontananza il mio duol non può lenir, che se nutro una speranza, ella è sol nell'avvenir. Dille pur che giorno e sera conto l'ore del dolor, che una speme lusinghiera mi conforta nell'amor.

Tenue luna, que plateas estas riberas, esta flores, e inspiras a los elementos el lenguaje del amor; eres el único testigo de mi ardiente deseo, y la que a la que me enamora cuenta mis pálpitos y mis suspiros. Dile que la distancia mi dolor no puede calmar, que si nutro una esperanza, es de ella sola en mi porvenir. Dile que de día y de noche cuento las horas de dolor, que una feliz esperanza me conforta en el amor.
