Original text and translations

Italian text Ben riconosco Amore ne bei vostre occhi audaci, ben le fiamme d'amor pure e vivaci, e'l suo foco e l'ardore che dal giro esse fora son li sguardi li strali, son le palpebre l'ali.

Dutch translation Zeker herken ik liefde in je mooie uitdagende ogen, zij zijn pure, levendige vlammen van liefde; zij zijn vuur en vurigheid die mij doorboren, de ogen zijn de pijlen, de oogleden zijn de veren.

English translation Sure I recognize love in your beautiful defiant eyes, they are pure, vibrant flames of love; they are fire and fervour piercing me, the eyes are the arrows, the eyelids are the feathers.
