Beautiful portal of rubies

Andrea Falconieri

Beautiful portal of rubies

That opens the way to sweet words,

That in the wandering laughter

Uncovers shining pearls,

You breath the sweet breeze of love,

Refreshment to my sufferings.

Caressing and fresh rose,

Moist and sweet lip,

You have the dewy manna

On your very beautiful cinnabar,

Do not speak, but laugh and be silent;

May our kisses be the words.
