Original text and translations

Italian text Oh dolci, oh cari, oh desiati baci. Unite l'alme vanno, su'l labro ad incontrarsi, col bacio l'alme sanno nel cor gran colpi darsi. Vezzosette si accordano, viperette si mordano; ma sono i lor dolcissimi furori grand union dei cori. Oh dolci, oh cari, oh desiati baci. Bacia mia bocca, bacia, e taci.

English translation Oh sweet, oh dear, oh desirable kisses! United souls come on these lips to meet, with a kiss these souls are able to strike at the heart. Charmingly they reconcile, spitefully they bite, but it is in their sweet battle that hearts are joined. Oh sweet, oh dear, oh desirable kisses! Kiss my lips, kiss, and be silent.
