Se d’amor, se di contento
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Se d’amor, se di contento
a quei detti, oh dio! non moro,
è portento, o mio tesoro,
è virtù di tua beltà.
Del piacer manco all’eccesso;
ma un tuo sguardo in un momento
poi ravviva il core oppresso
dalla sua felicità.

If your words don't kill me
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
If your words don't kill me
(oh God!), whether from love or sheer happiness,
then this is a sign and firm proof
of your beauty, my dearest treasure.
Even when I am in the throes of melancholy,
just one glance of you being content
is enough to revive my oppressed heart
in an instant.
