Text

Sovra un fiume regale
fiorisce un bel perlaro; nel verziere
vidi la donna, ch'io bramo e disiro.
......

ANNA mio cor, ANNA la vita mia.
gli raggi tuo fatt'han d'amor la via.

Translation

In an orchard by a royal river
blossoms a beautiful Persian lilac.
There I saw the woman whom I yearn for and desire.
......

Anna my sweetheart, Anna my life.
your eyes have paved the way for love.
