Available translation(s): ENG
Io lo so, che il bel sembiante
Un istante, oh Dio! mirai,
E mai più da quell'istante
[Non]1 lasciai di sospirar.
Io lo so; lo sanno queste
Valli ombrose, erme foreste
[Che han]2 da me quel nome amato
Imparato a replicar.

I’d know that beautiful face
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
I’d know that beautiful face
in an instant, oh God! I saw [it],
and ever since that instant
I haven’t stopped sighing!
I know it, they know these
shady valleys, forests of Hermes,
who have learned to repeat
that name I loved.
