Sorge nel petto
Certo diletto
Che bella calma

Doppo gran stento
Coglier la palma
Del nostro ardor.

Within my breast

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Within my breast,
a certain delight arises
that promises sweet repose
unto my heart.

After such privation,
Attaining the goal for which we long
will be sheer contentment.
