It is just that at some time I sing, | |||

to make my smiling equal so many sorrows. | |||

give delight to those holy eyes, | |||
oh me blessed above other lovers! | |||

"A lady begs me; therefore I wish to speak." | |||

Italian text
Ragion è ben ch'alcuna volta io canti,
però ch' ò sospirate sì gran tempo;
che mai non incomincio assai per tempo
per adequar col riso i dolor tanti.
Et s'io potesse far ch' agli occhi santi
porgesse alcun diletto
qualche dolce mio detto,
o me beato sopra gli altri amanti!
Ma più quand' io dirò senza mentire:
"Donna mi prega, per ch'io voglio dire."
English translation
It is just that at some time I sing,
since I have sighed for so long a time;
that I shall never begin soon enough
to make my smiling equal so many sorrows.
And if I could make some sweet saying of mine
give delight to those holy eyes,
oh me blessed above other lovers!
But most when I can say without lying:
"A lady begs me; therefore I wish to speak."
