Venus [English translation]

Inside my heart many are the sighs

for your beauty, which gravely grieve me

Venus! - I trusted you were my friend -

Pretending to Heaven you were willing to consign¹;

like a disciple of a villain,

did you make like a tragedienne²?

I'm in love for the first time all ablazed

Love flies all around, desire is captive.

Venus! - I trusted you were my friend -

Pretending to Heaven you were willing to consign;

like a disciple of a villain,

did you make like a tragedienne?

I'm in love for the first time all ablazed

Inside my heart many are the sighs

for your beauty, which gravely grieve me

Your eyes shining just like sunbeams,

just like thunderbolts, that light the darkness.
