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.

Lady, the burning rays
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Lady, the burning rays
From your gentle eyes
Which hold the keys of my soul
Enflame my heart to a true nobility.
The burning flame which you have
In your eyes, on your brow,
Is the main reason
Why my heart aspires to seek such heights.
Lady, the burning rays
From your gentle eyes
Which hold the keys of my soul
Enflame my heart to a true nobility.
