non so conoscer poi  
se voi le rose o sian le rose voi.

When I look upon the roses
When I look upon the roses
with which nature has blessed you
with which nature has blessed you

upon your graceful breast,
upon your graceful breast,
I cannot tell whether
I cannot tell whether
it is you that are the roses or the roses that are you.
it is you that are the roses or the roses that are you.}}

Quand'io miro le rose
ch'in voi natura pose
e quelle che v'ha l'arte
nel vago seno sparte,
non so conoscer poi
se voi le rose o sian le rose voi.

When I look upon the roses
with which nature has blessed you
and those which art has scattered
upon your graceful breast,
I cannot tell whether
it is you that are the roses or the roses that are you.
