Al primo vostro sguardo
Fui d'amoroso dardo
Ferito così forte
Ch'io grido: "O dolci lumi,
Fate ch'io non consumi!"

Poi mirando le trezze
Vidi tante bellezze,
E tanto fu l'ardore,
Ch'io grido: "O chiome d'oro,
Per voi abbrugio e moro!"

La bocca e le parole,
Uniche, al mondo sole,
Son sì potenti e forti,
Ch'io grido: "O bocca sola,
Ov'Amor scherza e vola.

Al fin la leggiadria
Di voi, signora mia,
È così grande e forte,
Che basta solamente
A innamorar la gente.

At your first look
I was by a loving arrow
So deeply wound
That I cry "Oh sweet lights,
Please let me not wear out!"
