Intorno all'idol mio spirate pur, spirate, Aure, Aure soavi e grate, E nelle guancie elette Baciatelo per me, Cortesi, cortesi aurette! Al mio ben, che riposa Su l'ali della quiete, Grati, grati sogni assistete E il mio racchiuso ardore Svelate gli per me, O larve, o larve d'amore!

Around my idol Breathe, merely breathe, Winds sweet and gracious And on the favored cheeks Kiss him for me, courtly breezes! In my love who rests On the wings of peace Pleasant dreams provoke. And my hidden ardor Reveal to him for me O spirits of love.
