Il balen del suo sorriso
d’una stella vince il raggio!
Il fulgor del suo bel viso
novo infonde a me coraggio.
Ah! l’amor, l’amore ond’ardo
le favelli in mio favor!
Sperda il sol d’un suo sguardo
la tempesta del mio cor.
Ah! l’amor, l’amore ond’ardo...


The flashing of her smile
is brighter than a star’s ray
The splendour of her fair face
instils new courage in me.
Ah, let the love that inflames me
speak to her in my favour
Let the sun of her glance
dispel the storm in my heart.
Ah, let the love that inflames me...
