Если ты хочешь, желанная, знать, что я в сердце таю; ревность какая то странная душу терзает мою! Я молю тебя: и взглядом и улыбкой радуй меня одного, одного меня, Я молю тебя: и взглядом и улыбкой радуй меня одного, одного меня! Чары, тебе богом данные, лишь для меня расточай, и на признанья нежданные гневно, мой друг, отвечай! Я молю тебя: и взглядом и улыбкой радуй меня одного, одного меня, Я молю тебя: и взглядом и улыбкой радуй меня одного, одного меня! Очи твои так светлы, так прекрасны, краше здесь нет лица, речи твои пленительны, опасны, губишь ты все сердца! Я молю тебя: и взглядом и улыбкой радуй меня одного, одного меня, Я молю тебя: и взглядом и улыбкой радуй меня одного, одного меня! Будь же довольна, желанная, сердцем покорным одним, чтоб не страдал непрестанно я, будь недоступна другим! Я молю тебя: и взглядом и улыбкой радуй меня одного, одного меня, Я молю тебя: и взглядом и улыбкой радуй меня одного, одного меня!

If you’d like, darling, to know what I hide in my heart; a strange kind of jealousy tears at my soul! I beg you: with a glance and a smile gladden me alone, me alone, I beg you: with a glance and a smile gladden me alone, me alone! Charms, given to you by God, lavish only on me, and to uninvited advances angrily, my friend, reply! I beg you: with a glance and a smile gladden me alone, me alone, I beg you: with a glance and a smile gladden me alone, me alone! Your eyes are so bright, so beautiful, no face here so beautiful, your words are captivating, dangerous, you destroy all hearts! I beg you: with a glance and a smile gladden me alone, me alone, I beg you: with a glance and a smile gladden me alone, me alone! So just try to be content, darling, with one vanquished heart, so I don’t suffer constantly, be unobtainable to others! I beg you: with a glance and a smile gladden me alone, me alone, I beg you: with a glance and a smile gladden me alone, me alone!
