Dolcissimo uscignolo,
tu chiami la tua cara compagnia
cantando: «Vieni, vieni, anima mia».
A me canto non vale,
e non ho come tu da volar ale.
O felice augelletto,
come nel tuo diletto
ti ricompensa ben l'alma natura:
se ti negò saver, ti diè ventura.

Sweet nightingale,
you call to your dear companion
singing 'Come to me my love'.
As for me, my song is of no value,
nor do I have wings to fly like you.
Happy little bird,
in your pleasure
kind Nature rewards you well:
she may have denied you knowledge,
but she made fortune smile on you.
