Italian text
Quel Augelin, che canta
Si dolcemente
E lascivetto vola
Hor da l'abete al faggio
Et hor dal faggio al mirto,-
S'havesse humano spirto,
Direbb': Ardo d'amor, ardo d'amore!
Ma ben arde nel core
E chiam' il suo desio
Che li rispond':
Ardo d'amor anch' io!
Che sii tu benedetto,
Amoroso, gentil, vago augelletto!
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
That little bird which sings
So sweetly
And gaily flies
Now from the fir to the beechtree
And now from the beech to the myrtle,
If he had a human mind,
Would say: I burn with love, I burn with love!
But in his heart he burns indeed
And calls to his beloved
Who replies to him:
I too am burning with love!
How fortunate you are,
Sweet little loving bird!
