V'adoro, pupille, saette d'amore,
You I adore, eyes, arrows of love,
le vostre faville son grate nel sen.
Your sparks are pleasing to my heart.
Pietose vi brama il mesto mio core,
Have pity you on the sad my heart,
ch'ogn'ora vi chiama l'amato suo ben.
Which at every hour calls the lover its beloved.
