Amarilli, mia bella, non credi,
O del mio cor dolce desio
d'esser tu l'amor mio?
Credilo pur: e se timor t'assale,
prendi questo mio strale,
aprimi il petto e vedrai scritto in core:
Amarilli รจ il mio amore.
Amaryllis, my fair one, you do not believe,
O sweet desire of my heart,
that you are my loved one?
Please, believe it: and if fear assails you,
take this arrow of mine,
open my chest and you will see written in my heart:
Amaryllis is the one I love.
"Amarilli, mia bella" -Giulio Caccini
