O del mio dolce ardor

O del mio dolce ardor
Bramato oggetto,
L'aura che tu respiri,
Alfin respiro.
 
O vunque il guardo io giro,
Le tue vaghe sembianze
Amore in me dipinge:
Il mio pensier si finge
Le più liete speranze;
E nel desio che così
M'empie il petto
Cerco te, chiamo te,
spero e sospiro.
 
Translation

Oh, Of My Sweet Passion

Oh, of my sweet passion
Craved object
The aura that you're breathing,
At last I breathe [it too].
 
Everywhere I look1,
Your vague aspect
Gives birth2 to love in me:
My thought imagines3
The most joyous hopes;
And in the desire4 which, so,
Fills5 my chest
I look for you, I call you,
I hope and sigh
