Non mi far caro de' begli ochi tuoi. ch'altro piacer non fa mie cor contento. perchT tu sola la mie vita, puoi tanto disio di tuo belleza sento. L'alma mia serve a te di buon talento: tanto spera e disia quanto ne la tua cara luce vede. TranslationLove him, my lady, who loves you with pure faith.O dear light of mine, I am the one who only hopes for your mercy. Do not withold your beautiful eyes from me: no other pleasure gladdens my heart. because you alone are my life. since I feel so much desire of your beauty. My soul willingly serves you: what she hopes and wishes for is what she can discern in your dear eyes. Text revision and translation © Giovanni Carsaniga |
