DI’, COR MIO, QUANTO T’AMAI<\/p>\n

Di’, cor mio, quanto t’amai,
\nmostra il bosco, il fonte, il rio,
\ndove tacqui e sospirai,
\npria di chiederti merc\u00e9.
\nDove fisso ne’ miei rai,
\nsospirando al sospir mio,
\nmi dicesti con un sguardo:
\npeno, ed ardo al par di te.<\/p>\n

Tell them, dear heart, how much I loved you,
\nshow them the grove, the spring, the brook,
\nwhere I sighed in silence
\nbefore asking for your pity.
\nWhere, gazing into my eyes,
\nyour sighs answering mine,
\nyou told me with a look:
\nI suffer, I burn like you.<\/p>\n
