O del mio dolce ardor
Bramato oggetto,
L'aura che tu respiri,
Alfin respiro.
O vunque il guardo io giro,
Le tue vaghe sembianze
Amore in me dipinge:
Il mio pensier si finge
Le più liete speranze;
E nel desio che così
M'empie il petto
Cerco te, chiamo te, spero e sospiro.

O meiner Leidenschaft
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
O meiner Leidenschaft
Begehrtes Abbild,
Die Luft, die Du atmest,
Werde auch ich atmen.
Worauf sich auch mein Blick richtet,
Die Anmut Deiner Erscheinung
Läßt die Liebe in mir wachsen,
Meine Vorstellung wagt
die glücklichsten Hoffnungen;
Und in Sehnsucht, die mir die Brust erfüllt
Suche ich Dich, rufe ich Dich -
Hoffe ich und seufze ich.
