Begli occhi mercè!
Già sul l'indiche maremme
Non ti chiamo a scior le vele
Al suo duolo un cor fedele
Non desia premio di gemme.

Beautiful eyes, have pity!

Beautiful eyes, have pity!
I am not asking you to spread out your sails
over the shores of India.
A faithful heart, to heal its pain,
does not need a prize of precious stones.
