Qual candido fiore
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Qual candido fiore
che sorge nel prato
rinasce nel core
la bella mia speme,
poi torna a perir.
Son troppo felice
se amarti mi lice;
ma l'anima amante
fedele e costante
lontan dal suo bene
si sente languir.

Like a pure flower
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Like a pure flower
rising in the meadow,
my hope surges up yet again
in my heart,
only to come crashing down.
Yet I would be overwhelmed with happiness
if I were allowed to love you.
But my loving soul,
faithful and loyal,
feels itself withering
far from its love.
