Italian text
Il vagh' e dolce sguardo,
qual hor lieto rivolta,
madonn'in me tutt' ardo,
per la gran gioia ch'è in me raccolta.
Ma poi ch'ella m'ascolta,
e che selvaggi'e schiva
ver me ver me si mostra
più ch'io non vorrei,
quasi m'adir a lei.
Vuol che liet' e penoso così viva.

English translation
The pretty and sweet look,
That now you happily turn to me:
My lady, I burn inside,
For the great joy that I feel.
But then, she listens to me,
And that shows herself looking at me
Wild and retiring
Even more than I'd like her to,
It almost makes me angry.
She wants me to live happily and painfully.
