Vaghissima sembianza
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG SPA
Vaghissima sembianza d'antica donna amata,
chi, dunque, v'ha ritratta contanta simiglianza
ch'io guardo, e parlo, e credo d'avervi a me
davanti come ai bei dì d'amor?
La cara rimembranza che in cor mi s'è destata
si ardente v'ha già fatta rinascer la speranza,
che un bacio, un voto, un grido d'amore
più non chiedo che a lei che muta è ognor.

Vaguísima semblanza
Language: Spanish (Español) after the Italian (Italiano)
Vaguísima semblanza de antigua mujer amada
que te ha retratado con tanta semejanza
que yo veo, y digo, y creo, tenerte frente a mi
como en los bellos días de amor.
La querida remembranza que ha despertado en mi corazón,
tan ardiente ha hecho renacer la esperanza
que un beso, una promesa, un grito de amor
solo pido a la que siempre calla.
