Dolci care parole, poiché più non vi sento: O come presto v'ha levato il vento, e con voi tratto insieme il mio cor, la mia vita e la mia speme. |
Sweet, dear words, since I no longer hear you: O how quickly the wind carried you away, and together with you has taken my heart, my life, and my hope. |
