Genio
Al tuo seno fortunato
Stringerai l'amato bene[,]
Se tu serbi‘l core armato
Di costanza e di valor[.]
Chi creò la terra e'l cielo,
Tutto vede e tutto regge[.]
Ma l'adombra un sacro velo[,]
Cui non lice penetrar[.]

To your fortunate breast
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Genio
To your fortunate breast
You will press [your] beloved
If you keep [your] heart armed
With resolution and valor.
[He] who created the earth and the heavens
Sees all and bears all.
But a sacred veil obscures her
Which [he is not permitted] to penetrate.
