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.

Oh, desired object Of my sweet ardor, The air which you breathe, At last I breathe. Wherever I turn my glance Your lovely features Paint love for me: My thoughts imagine The most happy hopes, And in the longing which Fills my bosom I seek you, I call you, I hope, and I sigh.
