Vedi quanto [t']1adoro ancora, ingrato.
Con [un tuo]2 sguardo solo
Mi togli ogni difesa, e mi disarmi.
Ed hai cor di tradirmi? e puoi lasciarmi?
Ah! non lasciarmi, no,
Bell' idol mio:
Di chi mi fiderò,
Se tu m'inganni?
Di vita mancherei
Nel dirti addio;
Chè viver non potrei
Fra tanti affanni.

See how much I still love you,...
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
See how much I still love you, ungrateful one.
With only one [of your] glance[s]
You take from me every defense and you disarm me.
And you have [the] heart to betray me? and you can leave me?
Ah! do not leave me, no,
My lovely idol:
In whom will I trust
If you deceive me?
I would pass away from life
In telling you goodbye:
For I could not live
Among so [much] grief.
