Vorrei baciarti, O Filli,  
Vorrei baciarti, o Filli,
ma non so come  
ma non so come, ove il mio bacio scocchi,
ove'l mio bacio scocchi  
ne la bocca o negli occhi.
nella bocca o negli occhi
Cedan le labbra a voi, lumi divini,
cedan le labra a voi lumi divini.
fidi specchi del core,
Fidi specchi del Core,  
vive stelle d’amore.
vive stelle d'amore,
Ah pur mi volgo a voi, perle e rubini,
ah pur mi volgo a voi perle Rubini.
tesoro di bellezza,
Tesoro di bellezza,  
fontana di dolcezza,
fontana di dolcezza,  
bocca, onor del bel viso:
bocca honor del bel viso.
nasce il pianto da lor, tu m’apri il riso.
Nasce il pianto da lor  
tu m'apri il riso.

<poem>
I would kiss you, Philly,
but know not where to place my kiss first,
upon your lips or upon your eyes.
Let lips yield to you, heavenly orbs,
faithful mirrors of the heart,
love’s living stars.
Ah, yet I turn to you, pearls and rubies,
beauty’s treasure,
fountain of sweetness,
lips, the glory of  a lovely face:
from eyes tears are born, lips confer me a smile.

I would kiss you, Philly,
but know not where to place my kiss first,
upon your lips or upon your eyes.
Let lips yield to you, heavenly orbs,
faithful mirrors of the heart,
love’s living stars.
Ah, yet I turn to you, pearls and rubies,
beauty’s treasure,
fountain of sweetness,
lips, the glory of a lovely face:
from eyes tears are born, lips confer me a smile.
