Io vò cantar mai sempre Poichè la donna mia, Con un sol sguardo di dolcezza, il core Ha potuto ingombrarmi d'Armonia. Sia benedett'Amore Per cui son fatto degno D'aver il ben c'ho desiato sempre. O felice mia sorte, alma mia gioia! Io vò cantar mai sempre.

I want to sing forever, since my lady, with one sweet look, is able to fill my heart with harmony. Blessed be love that made me worthy to receive the good I have always desired. Oh, my happy fate, joy of my soul! I want to sing forever.
