Oh graceful, lovely eyes
Giovanni Stefani
Oh graceful, lovely eyes,
my beloved eyes,
living rays from heaven,
so bright and clear,
since you desire so much
to see me languish,
to see me die,
lovely eyes that I adore,
see how I die.
Oh bright lights,
oh beloved lights,
so cruel and merciless
to my love,
since you so enjoy
the fire that I feel
from my severe affliction,
oh look at me a little
and rejoice in my fire.
