Io non so se amor tu sei
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Io non so se amor tu sei
che penar così mi fai;
ma se amor tu fossi mai
ah nasconditi nel sen.
Se di nascermi nel petto
impedirti io non potei,
a morirvi ignoto affetto
obbligarti io voglio almen.

I do not know if it is you, Love
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
I do not know if it is you, Love,
who causes me to suffer so.
But if you are not Love,
pray hide yourself in my breast.
If I can't prevent you
from being born in my heart,
I must at least oblige you,
ignoble affection, to perish.
