Donna s'io miro voi, ghiaccio divengo,
Si di mirar m'astengo
D'un infinito ardore
mi si consuma il core.
Non so che m'abbi luoco :
Mirar m'è ghiaccio, non mirar m'è fuoco.


English.png English translation by Mick Swithinbank

I need but look at you to pay the price:
Upon the instant I am turned to ice.
No remedy to turn aside my gaze –
Unfailingly I feel my heart ablaze.
I am lost whichever way I turn:
Look, and I freeze, yet otherwise I burn.
