Giga
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Udite, amanti, udite
Meraviglia dolcissima d'Amore!
La mia vita, il mio core,
Quella Donna già tanto sospirata,
E tanto invan bramata,
Quella fugace, quella,
Che fù già tanto cruda quanto bella,
È fatta amante, ed io
Il suo cor, la sua vita, e il suo desio.

Listen, lovers, listen
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Listen, lovers, listen
to the sweet marvel of love!
My life, my heart,
the lady for whom I sighed and longed for
so much in vain,
the evasive one,
she who was as cruel as she is beautiful,
has become a lover, and I
have become her beloved, her life, and her desire.
