Amor tu che congiungi
Con lieti e cari nodi
E dolcemente pungi
Con maestrevol modi
Gli accesi cor de fortunati Amanti,
Deh, poi che tu sol opri opre cotanti,
Lega, fiedi, congiungi il cor altiero
Al mio del mio bel Sol d’ugual pensiero.

German.png German translation

Amor, du, der du verknüpfst
mit frohen und liebreichen Knoten
und sanft stichst
auf meisterliche Weise
die entflammten Herzen der glücklichen Liebenden,
ach, da nur du so große Werke vollbringst,
verbinde, verwunde, verknüpfe mit meinem das stolze Herz
meiner schönen Sonne durch einen gleichen Gedanken.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt
