Non lo dirò col labbro
Che tanto ardir non ha;
Forse con le faville
Dell'avide pupille,
Per dir come tutt'ardo,
Lo sguardo parlerà.

I will not say it with my lips
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano) 
 I will not say it with my lips
 Which have not the courage;
 Perhaps the sparks
 Of my burning eyes,
 Revealing my passion,
 My glance will speak.
