Parolette, vezzi e sguardi,
Son di donna i forti dardi
Per combatter’ ogni cor.
Con tal armi cadde Alcide,
Così adesso Amor m’arride
Per far schiavo un vincitor.

Little words, charms, and looks
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Almirena:
Little words, charms, and looks
Are of women the strong arrows
To fight every heart.
[By these] weapons fell Alcides (Heracles),
So now Cupid smiles upon me
In order to make [a] slave [of] a conqueror.
