Chi sa, chi sa, qual sia
l'affanno del mio bene,
se sdegno, gelosia,
timor, sospetto, amor.
Voi che sapete, o Dei,
I puri affetti miei,
Voi questo dubbio amaro
Toglietemi dal cor.

Qui sait, qui sait
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Qui sait, qui sait, quelle est
L'agitation de mon amour ?
Colère, jalousie,
crainte, soupçon, amour.
Vous qui savez, ô Dieux,
La pureté de mon affection,
Ce doute amer
Arrachez-le de mon cœur
