Italian text

“T'amo, mia vita”, la mia cara vita
mi dice, e in questa sóla
dolcissima paròla
par che trasformi lietamente il còre
per farsene signóre.
O voce di dolcezza e di diletto,
prèndila tosto, Amóre,
stàmpala nel mio còre!
Spiri solo per te l'anima mia:
“T'amo, mia vita” la mia vita sia.

English translation

“I love you, my life*”, my beloved
says to me,
and with these few sweet words
calmly she seems to change her mind,
making me master of her heart.
Such sweet, delightful words:
Cupid, take them
and imprint them on my heart.
May I live and breathe only for you;
Let “I love you, my life” be my life.
(* i.e., my sweetheart)
