Se meritar potessi, 
Cara, gli affetti tuoi 
Sarei de' numi istessi 
Più fortunato, allor.

Ma sí felice sorte 
Per me non è serbata,
Quest' alma non è nata 
per sì felice amor.

Se eu pudesse merecer
Language: Portuguese (Português)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Se eu pudesse merecer
O teu afecto, minha querida,
Seria então mais afortunado
Que as próprias divindades!
 
Mas se essa feliz sorte
Não me está reservada,
Esta alma não nasceu
Para um amor tão feliz.
