Quando lo miro
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Quando lo miro io non saprei
staccar da lui gli occhi e ’l desir,
e nel deliro de’ sensi miei
dirgli vorrei: Per te sospiro.
Ma dentro l’alma voce mi grida:
S’ami tua calma, fuggi l’infido,
che in bella salma cor fier s’annida.

When I look upon him
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
When I look upon him,
I would not know how
to detach from him
my eyes and my desire
and in the delirium of my senses,
I would like to tell him,
"I sigh for you."
But deep within my soul,
some voice cries out,
"Your peace is what you must care for,
flee the traitor,
for a proud heart can only repose
in a stalwart body."
