Quel fronte signorille
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Quel fronte signorille in paradiso
Scorge l'anima mia
Mentre che in sua balia
Streto mi tien mirando il suo bel viso.
I ochi trapassa tutti dei altri e 'l viso
Con sì dolce armonia
Che i cor nostri se 'n via
Pian pian in suso vanno in paradiso.
Quel fronte signorille in paradiso
Scorge l'anima mia
Mentre che in sua balia
Streto mi tien mirando il suo bel viso.

That noble brow
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
That noble brow to paradise
Seizes my soul
While at her mercy
I am enthralled, admiring her lovely face.
Her eyes surpass all those of other ladies, and her face
Has such sweet harmony
That our hearts set off and go
Quietly quietly up to paradise.
That noble brow to paradise
Seizes my soul
While at her mercy
I am enthralled, admiring her lovely face.
