Chi mai di questo core
  Saprà le vie secrete,
  Se voi non le sapete,
  Begl'occhi del mio ben?
Voi che dal primo istante,
  Quando divenni amante,
  Il mio nascosto foco
  Mi conosceste in sen.

Wer wird je dieses Herzens

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Donizetti)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)

Wer wird je dieses Herzens
verborgne Pfade kennen,
wenn ihr nicht wisst von ihnen,
ihr Augen, schön, der Liebsten mein?
Ihr, die mit dem ersten Blicke,
als mein Herz für Euch entflammte,
die verborgne Lieb’ erkanntet,
die bewahrt in meiner Brust?
