Singable translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

La corrispondenza amorosa
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Cifre d'amor, sol conforto del core,
non v'oso più nel mio seno occultar;
figlie d'amor, sol vi danna l'amore,
potreste voi la sua fiamma svelar,
o care cifre affettuose e tenere, 
voi non sarete più
che poca cenere. Ardete pur, pegni d'amor,
voi qui sarete scolpiti ognor.
Io voglio ancor palpitante
e beata inebbriarmi un'istante d'amor:
e penso al ben della vita passata
ed odo il suon della sua voce ancor.
O care cifre, mia gioia, mia gloria,
grata terrò nel cor di voi memoria.
Quand'ei saprà sì crudel sagrifizio, 
di pianto il ciglio allor
ci bagnerà, cifre d'amor,
il destin reo si compia,
non visti ardete via senza pietà.
Deh! quell'amor con che il mio ben m'adora
siccome poi non isvanisca o mora.
