Original text and translations

Italian.png Italian text

Se vittorie sì belle
han le guerre d'amore,
fatti guerrier mio core.
E non temer degli amorosi strali
le ferite mortali.
Pugna, sappi ch'è gloria
il morir per desio de la vittoria.

English.png English translation

If love's wars have such beautiful victories,
become a warrior, my heart,
and do not fear the mortal wounds
made by the arrows of love.
Fight in the knowledge that it is glorious
to die of desire for victory.
