Translation
Tanto gentile e tanto onesta pare
«Tanto gentile e tanto onesta pare
la donna mia, quand’ella altrui saluta,
ch’ogne lingua devèn, tremando, muta,
e li occhi no l’ardiscon di guardare.
Ella si va, sentendosi laudare,
benignamente d’umiltà vestuta,
e par che sia una cosa venuta
da cielo in terra a miracol mostrare.
Mostrasi sì piacente a chi la mira
che dà per li occhi una dolcezza al core,
che ‘ntender no la può chi no la prova;
e par che de la sua labbia si mova
un spirito soave pien d’amore,
che va dicendo a l’anima: Sospira. »
So Kind and So Honest She Looks
“So kind and so honest she looks
my woman, when she greets others,
that every tongue becomes, shaking, mute,
and eyes dare not look at her.
She goes, hearing people praise her,
benignly dressed in humility,
and it seems she's something that's come
from heaven to earth to show a miracle.
She looks so attractive to those who behold her
she gives through the eyes a sweet taste to the heart,
which can't be understood by one who hasn't experienced it;
and it seems her face releases
a pleasing spirit full of love,
which goes and tells the soul: Sigh.”
