O chiome d'or, neve gentil del seno
O gigli della man, ch'invido il cielo
Ne rapì, quando chiuse in cieca tomba,
Chi vi nasconde? Ohimè! Povera terra
II fior d'ogni bellezza, il Sol di Glauco
Nasconde! Ah! Muse! Qui sgorgate il pianto!


English.png English translation

O golden hair, o delicate snowy breast,
o lily-white hand that envious heaven has stolen,
though locked in this blind tomb,
who can hide thee? Ah me! Poor earth
— will thou hide the flower of beauty,
the sun of Glauco? Ah muses, shed your tears.
