Anonymous: O leggiadri occhi belli - Cecilia Bartoli, György Fischer

O leggiadri occhi belli,

occhi miei cari,

vivi raggi del ciel

sereni e chiari,

poich’e tanto bramate

di vedermi languire,

di vedermi morire,

occhi belli che adoro,

mirate ch’io moro.

O serene mie luci,

o luci amate,

tanto crude al mio amor

quanto spietate,

poich’e tanto godete

della fiamma ch’io sento

del mio grave tormento

deh miratemi un poco

e gioite al mio foco

O graceful beautiful eyes,

my dear eyes,

live rays of heaven

serene and clear,

since they are so coveted

to see me languish,

to see me die,

beautiful eyes that I adore,

aim for me to die.

O my serene lights,

or beloved lights,

so raw to my love

how ruthless,

because you enjoy so much

of the flame that I feel

of my grave torment

deh look at me a little

and rejoice in my fire
