Giunse alfìn il momento Che godrò senza affanno In braccio all'idol mio. Timide cure, Uscite dal mio petto, A turbar non venite il mio diletto! Oh, come par che all'amoroso foco L'amenità del loco, La terra e il ciel risponda, Come la notte i furti miei seconda! Al desìo di chi t'adora, Vieni, vola, o mia speranza! Morirò, se indarno ancora Tu mi lasci sospirar. Le promesse, i giuramenti, Deh! rammenta, o mio tesoro! E i momenti di ristoro Che mi fece Amor sperar! Ah! ch'io mai più non resisto All'ardor che in sen m'accende! Chi d'amor gli affetti intende, Compatisca il mio penar.

Le moment arrive enfin où je vais connaître le bonheur sans souci dans les bras de mon amour. Craintes timides, sortez de mon cœur, ne venez pas troubler mon plaisir ! Oh, comme au feu de mon amour le charme du lieu, la terre et le ciel répondent, comme la nuit favorise mon stratagème ! Au désir de celle qui t'adore, viens, vole, ô mon espoir ! Je vais mourir, si en vain encore tu me laisses soupirer. Les promesses, les serments, Ah, souviens-t'en, ô mon trésor ! Et les moments de réconfort que me fait espérer l'Amour ! Ah ! je ne peux plus résister à l'ardeur qui me brûle dans le cœur ! Que ceux qui connaissent les effets de l'amour Compatissent à ma souffrance.
