Risponderti vorrei
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Risponderti vorrei
ma gela il labbro e tace:
lo rese amor loquace,
muto lo rende Amor:
Amor, che a suo talento
rende un imbelle audace,
e abbatte in un momento,
quando gli piace, un cor.

I would like to respond to you
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
I would like to respond to you,
but my lips freeze up in silence.
Though love created them talkative,
Cupid renders them mute now:
Yes, that Eros, who via his skill
turns a faint-hearted person
into a daring one,
and topples the mightiest heart
in a moment, at his pleasure.
