Original text and translations
Italian text
Quel ‘no’ crudel che la mia speme ancise
Ecco che pur trafitto
Da mille baci di mia bocca ultrice,
Qual fiera serpe in mezzo ai fiori essangue,
Tra quelle belle labbra a morte langue.
O vittoria felice! In quel vago rossor
Gli amanti scritto leggan:
«Di quel bel volto ha vinto Amore.»
Amor vince ogni core.
