Amalo e se al tuo sguardo
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Amalo e se al tuo sguardo
amabile non è,
la man che te lo diè
rispetta e taci.
Poi nell’amar men tardo
forse il tuo cor sarà,
quando fumar vedrà
le sacre faci.

Love him.
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Love him. And if you glance him,
and he does not appear loveable,
respect the hand which bestowed him
upon you, and be silent.
When your heart sees the sacred flames
being consumed in smoke,
maybe your heart will be less reluctant
to fall in love.
