Dona i ardenti rai
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Dona i ardenti rai
De vostri ochi suavi
Che de mi tien le chiavi
Me infiama il petto a vera gentileza.

La fiame ardente ch'ai
Ne li ochi, nel bel fronte
Son le cason in pronte
Che 'l cor me arese a seguir tant' alteza.

Dona i ardenti rai
De vostri ochi suavi
Che de mi tien le chiavi
Me infiama il petto a vera gentileza.
