Al lume delle stelle
Tirsi sotto un alloro
Si dolea lagrimando in questi accenti:

O celesti facelle
Di lei ch'amo ed adoro
Rassomigliate voi gli occhi lucenti.

Luci serene e liete,
Sento la fiamma lor mentre splendete.

English.png English translation

By the light of the stars
Tirsi, beneath a laurel,
lamented tearfully in these ways:

O celestial torches,
you look like the shining eyes
of her whom I love and adore.

Lights, serene and joyful,
I feel their flame even as you shine.

Translation by Allen Garvin
