General Information
Title: Quella fiamma che m’accende / Il mio bel foco
Composer: Benedetto Marcello
Number of voices: 1v Voicing: Soprano solo
Genre: Secular, Art song
Language: Italian
Instruments: Piano
First published: 1885 in Anthology of Italian song, Book 1, no. 18
Description: It seems that the attribution of this work to Benedetto Marcello (1686-1739) is in question.
Recmusic.org has it by Francesco Bartolomeo Conti (1681-1732), and Wikipedia has it by Alessandro Parisotti (1853-1913).
In any case this is an arrangement of the original work by Parisotti.

Original text and translations
Italian text
Il mio bel foco,
o lontano o vicino ch’esser poss’io,
senza cangiar mai tempre per voi,
care pupille, arderà sempre.
Quella fiamma che m’accende,
piace tanto all’alma mia,
che giammai s’estinguerà.
E se il fato a voi mi rende,
vaghi rai del mio bel sole,
altra luce ella non vuole
nè voler giammai potrà.
