Italian text
Cor mio, mentre vi miro,
visibilmente mi trasformo in voi,
e trasformato poi,
in un solo sospir l'anima spiro.
O bellezza mortale,
O bellezza vitale,
poiché sí tosto un core
per te rinasce, e per te nato more.
English translation
Oh my heart, while I watch you,
I am patently transformed in you,
and, once transformed,
in a single breath I exhale my spirit.
Oh, mortal beauty,
Oh, vital beauty,
because a heart quickly lives again
for you; and for you, if alive, it dies.
