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, desejado objeto do meu
Language: Portuguese (Português) after the Italian (Italiano)
Oh, desejado objeto
do meu doce desejo!
O ar que tu respiras,
afinal respiro.
Para onde quer que eu torne o meu olhar
Os teus suaves traços
O amor, em mim, pinta,
O meu pensamento imagina
As mais alegres esperanças,
E no desejo que assim
me preenche o peito
Procuro-te, chamo-te, espero e suspiro!
