Che godro senz'affanno		          	When I'll enjoy [experience joy] without haste_x000D_
In braccio all'idol mio		          	In the arms of my beloved..._x000D_
Timide cure uscite dal mio petto!		Fearful anxieties, get out of my heart!_x000D_
A turbar non venite il mio diletto.		Do not come to disturb my delight._x000D_
O come par che all'amoroso foco		Oh, how it seems that to amorous fires_x000D_
L'amenita del loco, 				        The comfort of the place, _x000D_
La terra e il ciel risponda.			Earth and heaven respond,_x000D_
						                [Oh, it seems that earth, heaven and this place _x000D_
