At last..., my personal motto is...
Nessuno mi ha mai garantito una vita facile..., ma si può sempre cercare di renderla il più piacevole possibile!
Vedut' ho la lucente stella diana,
ch'appare anzi che 'l giorno rend'albore,
c'ha preso forma di figura umana,
sovr'ogni'altra mi par che dea splendore;
viso di neve colorato in grana
occhi lucenti gai e pien d'amore;
non credo che ne mondo
sia cristiana si piena di beltate e di valore.
Ed io da lo su' amor son assalito
con si fera battaglia di sospiri
ch'avanti a lei di dir non seri'ardito:
cosi conoscessa'ella i miei disiri,
che, senza dir, di lei seria servito
per la pieta ch'avrebbe de' martiri.
I have seen the shining star of morning
which appears before dawn yields its first light,
and which has taken the form of human being.
I think she gives more splendor than any other.
A face like snow, tinged with red, shining eyes
that are happy and full of love; I do not believe
there is a single girl in the whole world
so full of beauty and worth.
And I am of fire with a love so fierce
and utter sighs so violent that I do not
dare say a single word in her presence.
I wish that she only knew of my desires,
so that without speaking, she should show
pity on me for the torments that I suffer.
