'T'amo, mia vita' la mia cara vita
Mi dice e in questa sola
Dolcissima parola
Par che trasformi lietamente il core
Per farsene signore,
O voce di dolcezza e di diletto,
Prendila tosto, Amore,
Stampala nel mio core!
Spiri solo per te l'anima mia:
'T'amo mia vita' la mia vita sia.
 

English.png English translation

I love you, my life*" is what my beloved
Says to me, and
in these few sweet words
It seems as if the god of love fills my heart with joy,
Taking control of it.
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)
