Italian text
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.
English translation
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.
