A voi, mentre il mio core
Con i sospiri miei, messagi suoi:
«Anima mia », vi dice, «ardo d’amore,
Anima mia, per voi d’amor io ardo»,
Deh, non tacete voi,
Ma rispondete, almen col vostro sguardo:
«Ardi, e mori, cor mio,
Ch’ardo d’amor per te, d’amor anch’ io.»

To you, while my heart
together with my sighs, sends its messages:
'My dear', it says, 'I burn with love,
my dear, for you I am burnt by love',
ah, do not be silent,
but respond at least with your eyes:
'Burn and die, my heart,
for I burn with love for you, burnt by love am I.'
