Se v'ho donato il core,
e così vuol Amore,
perché dar non dovete
il vostro a me, che così car tenete?
Caro fu pur il mio
a me quando in me stesso ancor l'ebb'io.

English.png English translation

If I gave you my heart,
as it so wishes, Love,
why must you not give
yours to me, for you hold it so dear?
Mine was also dear
to me when I still held it within myself.

Translation by Allen Garvin
