Amor soave
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Amor soave,
Spirto del cielo,
Vieni, ti supplico,
Vieni con me.
Non sento ardore,
Non sento zelo;
In me languida
È ancor la fè.
Tutto è in me
Languore e gelo,
Oh mio bell’angelo,
Senza di te.
Come per nubi
S’oscura il cielo
Che già di vivida
Luce splendè,
E come il fiore
Sul tronco stelo
La prima rosea
Beltà perdè,
Tal su miei giorni
Si sparse un velo,
Oh mio bell’angelo,
Lungi da te.

Sweet love
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Sweet love,
spirit of Heaven,
come, I implore you,
come with me!
I feel neither zeal
nor ardor;
my faith still
languishes.
Everything in me is
languor and ice,
my fair angel,
without you!
Like the sky
obscured by clouds,
which was before
so vividly illuminated,
like the flower
on a cut branch,
losing its
fresh beauty,
thus over my days
a veil is drawn,
my fair angel,
when far from you!
