English translation
Ah! I-delayed too-long, and at our
Ah! Too long I have waited; And yet I have not found at our favorite place, my beloved Carlo. And who can tell What he has suffered! But not as much as I have! As a symbol of his love He left me this bouquet! What a tender heart! And for that heart I do cherish him It is the greatest treasure he has! We are both but poor, Living only on thoughts of love If he be an unknown painter, He will shine with his genius! And I will be his wife. Oh, what happiness!

E per quel core io l'amo, And for that heart I love-him,
Oh, you are the sparkle of my soul, Delightful life and love; On earth and in paradise, We will be together. Come, my beloved And find quiet in my yearning heart That sighs for your love, Of which mine is for you alone.
