Carlo Goldoni (1707 - 1793)
Io son di tutti amico
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Io son di tutti amico,
son vostro servitor.
Un uomo di buon cor
conoscerete in me.
La chiamo subito,
verrà, ma dubito,
sconvolta trovisi
da un non so che;
farò il possibile
pe 'l vostro merito,
che per i titoli,
per i capitoli
anche in preterito
famoso egli è.

Everyone's friend am I
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Everyone's friend am I,
and your devoted servant!
Know in me a man
after your heart.
I'll call her right away,
she will come, but I have my doubts.
May she find herself
thrown into confusion by who knows what!
I will do whatever possible
by your merit,
for by your titles,
and by the chronicles,
even in the preterite,
it is world-renowned!
