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.
