Odi l'aura che dolce sospira

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Available translation(s): ENG FRE

Venere:
 Odi l'aura che dolce sospira;
 Mentre fugge scutendo le fronde,
 Se l'intendi, ti parla d'amor.

Pallade:
 Senti l'onda che rauca s'aggira;
 Mentre geme radendo le sponde,
 Se l'intendi, si lagna d'amor.

(a due):
 Quell'affetto chi sente nel petto,
 Sa per prova se nuoce, se giova,
 Se diletto produce o dolor!
