Guarda qui che lo vedrai
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Guarda qui che lo vedrai,
[Senti qui che il sentirai.]
In quest'occhi cosa vedi?
[Cosa senti in questo petto?]

Veggo un fanciulletto
[Sento un fiero fanciulletto]
che in me vibra or fiamme or dardi,
ch'ora ride or piange
or palpita, or piacere
or duolmi dà.

Cosa vedi? [Cosa senti?]
Veggo un ...
       ... duolmi dà;
a chi mai, chi mai sarà?

É il furbetto di Cupido
che dagli occhi al cor mi viene
e per te, mio caro bene,
mille scherzi in sen mi fa.

Note: Soprano's text in [] brackets where different from tenor.

Look here who will see him
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Look here who will see him,
[Who will feel that he feels.]
In these eyes what do you see?
[What do you feel in this breast?]

I see a young man
[I feel a proud young man]
who in me is vibrant now with flames now darts
who now smiles now weeps
now throbs, now pleases
now gives me pain.

What do you see? [What do you feel?]
I see a ...
      ... gives me pain;
to whom never, never will be?

It is Cupid's arrow 
which comes from the eyes to my heart
and for you, my dear friend,
plays tricks in my breast.
