Our translations: FRE
Desideri che? Desideri che sperate di gioir. Voi v'ingannate. Può ben grand' ale Ingigantito il core Spiegar al ciel d'amore, Mentre dalla crudel Che vi fa guerra Vostre speranze in terra Piombano fulminate. In vano ergete Ardimentoso il guardo Ad un seren bugiardo, Mentr'al vostro salir Fiere procelle Dalle nemiche stelle Vengono minacciate. Desideri che? Desideri che sperate di gioir. Voi v'ingannate.
