For the glory of adoring you
Giovanni Battista Bononcini
For the glory of adoring you
I want to love you,
O dear eyes literally lights.
Loving I will suffer,
But always I will love you,
Yes, yes, in my suffering,
I will suffer,
I will love you,
Dear eyes.
Without hope of delight,
Vain affection
It is to sigh,
But your sweet rays
Who could ever gaze upon
And not, and not love you?
I will suffer,
I will love you,
Dear eyes!
