Sol che un istante io miri
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Sol che un istante io miri,
la bella mia nemica,
la dolce fiamma antica,
sento svegliarmi in sen;
ritorno a miei sospiri,
d'amor per lei mi moro;
il mio destino adoro
negli occhi del mio ben.

If only for an instant, I admire
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
If only for an instant, I admire
my beautiful enemy,
I can feel a sweet, ancient flame,
Awakening in my heart;
I return to my sighing,
My dying of love for her;
and I embrace my destiny with my whole heart,
in the eyes of the object of my desire.
