Composed by: Giovanni Paisiello Italian text
Nel cor piu non mi sentoBrillar la gioventucagion del mio tormentoamor sei colpa tuMi pizzichi, mi stuzzichimi pungichi, mi mastichiche cosa e questo ahimepieta, pieta, pietaamore e un certo cheche disperar mi fa.
English translation
Why feels my heart so dormantNo fire of youth divine?Thou cause of all my tormentO Love, the fault is thine!He teases me, he pinches meHe squeezes me, he wrenches meWhat tortures I must bear!Have done, Have done, Have done!Thou, Love, art surely oneWill drive me to despair!
