Italian.png Italian text

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.

English.png English translation

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.

Translation by Mick Swithinbank
 

When I admire the roses
that nature placed in you,
and those that art
has sprewn on your lovely bosom,
I cannot tell
whether you are the roses, or the roses you.

Translation by Campelli
