Amorose ai rai del sole
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Amorose ai rai del sole
son le rose, e le viole,
ed il sol col raggio ardente
pur talor languir le fa.
Benché senta il mio diletto
nuovo fuoco dentro il petto,
amerà sempre costante
la mia bella fedeltà.

Roses and violets
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Roses and violets
love the sun's bright beams,
and yet the sun with its burning rays
causes them sometimes to wither.
Although my breast might sense
new flames to fire its ardor,
my matchless fidelity
will always feel love.
