Affetti del cor mio non vi condanno
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Affetti del cor mio non vi condanno,  
se mi volete rea, ma rea d'amore,
al regno, ed all'amor serva un inganno,
se son regno, ed amor pace del core,
l'affetto che del cor si fa tiranno,
assolve dal rimorso il traditore,
se in trono un caro sposo amor si gode,
lascia d'esser delitto ancor la frode.

I do not condemn you, affections of my heart
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano) 
I do not condemn you, affections of my heart,
if you wish me to be guilty, but only of love.
May a deception serve both the kingdom and love
if they will only bring peace to my heart.

O affection, tyrant over one's heart,
which absolves the traitor of remorse,
may deceit cease to be a sin
if in having my spouse on the throne,
I cause you to rejoice.
