Mentre dormi, Amor fomenti
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Mentre dormi, Amor fomenti
il piacer de' sonni tuoi
con l'idea del mio piacer.
Abbia il rio passi più lenti;
e sospenda i moti suoi
ogni zeffiro leggier.

Whilst you enjoy your slumber
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
May love foster within your sweet dreams
the idea of my pleasure
whilst you enjoy your slumbers.
May the river flow by ever slower,
and all zephyrs cease stirring,
even the slightest of breezes.
