Inside my heart many are the sighs
for your beauty, which gravely grieve me
Venus! - I trusted you were my friend -
Pretending to Heaven you were willing to consign¹;
like a disciple of a villain,
did you make like a tragedienne²?
I'm in love for the first time all ablazed
Love flies all around, desire is captive.
Venus! - I trusted you were my friend -
Pretending to Heaven you were willing to consign;
like a disciple of a villain,
did you make like a tragedienne?
I'm in love for the first time all ablazed
Inside my heart many are the sighs
for your beauty, which gravely grieve me
Your eyes shining just like sunbeams,
just like thunderbolts, that light the darkness.
