Tacciono i boschi e i fiumi,
e'l mar senza onda giace,
ne le spelonche i venti han tregua e pace,
e ne la notte bruna
alto silenzio fa la bianca luna;
e noi tegnamo ascose
le dolcezze morose.
Amor non parli o spiri,
sien muti i baci e muti i miei sospiri.

ENGLISH:
The woods and the rivers are silent
And the sea lies without waves
In the caves the winds have peace and truce,
And in the dark night
The white moon spreads a long silence
And we hide
The sweets in love.
Love you neither speak nor sigh,
Let my kisses be mute and mute be my sighs
