Se meritar potessi
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG POR
Se meritar potessi,
Cara, gli affetti tuoi
Sarei de' numi istessi
Più fortunato, allor.
Ma sí felice sorte
Per me non è serbata,
Quest' alma non è nata
per sì felice amor.

Se eu pudesse merecer
Language: Portuguese (Português)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Se eu pudesse merecer
O teu afecto, minha querida,
Seria então mais afortunado
Que as próprias divindades!
Mas se essa feliz sorte
Não me está reservada,
Esta alma não nasceu
Para um amor tão feliz.
