Sole e amore
Italian source:
Anon.
Batte ai tuoi vetri. Amor
Pian batte al tuo cuore,
E l'uno e l'altro chiama.
Il sole dice: O dormente,
Mostrati che sei bella.
Dice l'amor: Sorella,
Col tuo primo pensier pensa a chi t'ama!
Sun and Love

Beats at your window. Love
Softly beats at your heart,
And both of them call out.
The sun says: O sleeping one,
Show yourself for you are beautiful.
Love says: Sister,
With your first thought think of the one who loves you!
