Ho non so che nel cor
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Ho non so che nel cor,
che invece di dolor
gioia mi chiede.
Ma il cor uso a temer
o non intende ancor.
Le voci del piacer
o inganno del pensier
forse le crede.

A certain je‑ne‑sais‑quoi
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
A certain je-ne-sais-quoi in my heart
tells me, "Rejoice!
Suffer no longer!"
Yet my heart is accustomed to fear,
or it doesn't yet hear.
Maybe it will believe
the voices of pleasure,
or my cajoling thoughts.
