Delizie contente, che l'alma beate fermate.
Su questo mio core deh più,
deh più non stillate le gioie d'amore.
Delizie mie care, fermatevi qui:
non so più bramare, mi basta così.
In grembo agli amori fra dolci catene morir,
morir mi conviene, dolcezza omicida a morte,
a morte mi guida, mi guida in braccio al mio bene.

Erfüllte Wonnen, die mein Herz selig machen, haltet inne
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Chosen for Diff
Erfüllte Wonnen, die mein Herz selig machen, haltet inne.
Auf dieses mein Herze, ach,
träufeln nicht länger die Freuden der Liebe.
Meine teuren Wonnen - haltet hier inne:
Ich kann nicht mehr begehren - es ist genug.
Im Schoß der Liebe, in ihren süßen Banden möchte ich sterben.
Todbringende Süße - führe mich bis zum Ende
in den Armen meines Geliebten.
