Lyrics

Per la gloria d'adorarvi voglio amarvi, o luci care.
Amando penerò, ma sempre v'amerò, sì, sì, nel mio penare:
penerò, v'amerò, luci care.
Senza speme di diletto vano affetto è sospirare,
ma i vostri dolci rai chi vagheggiar può mai e non, e non v'amare?
penerò, v'amerò, luci care!

Translation:

For the love my heart doth prize, O charmful eyes, I would adore ye.
For me, my love is pain, I know 'tis all in vain, vain, vain, yet kneel before ye.
love is pain, all in vain I implore ye.
Hopeless 'tis to look for kindness, Foolish fondness with sighs t'implore ye;
But who-e'er might woo your gaze, Bask in your sunny rays, and not, an dnot adore ye?
Love is pain, all in vain I implore ye.
