-Dolcemente dormiva la mia Clori
-e 'ntorno al suo bel volto
-givan scherzando i pargoletti Amori.
-Mirav'io, da me tolto,
-con gran diletto lei,
-quando dir mi sentii: « Stolto, che fai?
-Tempo perduto non s’acquista mai.»
-Allor io mi chinai così pian piano,
-e baciandole il viso
-provai quanta dolcezza ha il paradiso.

-Clori slept sweetly
-as around her pretty face
-love cherubs flew merrily.
-I, absent-minded
-and full of joy, watched her,
-when I heard myself say: "Fool, what gives?
-Missed chances never come again."
-Thus, I bent down, ever so slowly,
-and, when I kissed her face,
-I tasted Heaven's sweetness.

-Ma Clori dormait doucement
-et autour de son beau visage
-volaient et plaisantaient petits Amours.
-Perdu dans mes pensées je la regardais
-avec grand délice,
-quand je m'entendis dire: « Fou, que fais-tu?
-Le temps perdu ne se récupère jamais. »
-Alors je m'inclinais lentement
-et embrassant son visage
-je goûtais toute la douceur du paradis.
