Italian text
- Se vittorie sì belle
- han le guerre d'amore,
- fatti guerrier mio core.
- E non temer degli amorosi strali
- le ferite mortali.
- Pugna, sappi ch'è gloria
- il morir per desio de la vittoria.
English translation
- If love's wars have such beautiful victories,
- become a warrior, my heart,
- and do not fear the mortal wounds
- made by the arrows of love.
- Fight in the knowledge that it is glorious
- to die of desire for victory.
