Per La Gloria D'adorarvi

For the glory of adoring you

Bononcinni
José Carlos Santos Silva

For the glory of adoring you
I want to love you,
o dear lights.
Loving I suffer,
but I will always love you,
yes, yes, in my suffering,
suffer,
love you,
dear lights.

Without hope of delight
vain affection
I sigh,
but your sweet rays
who could ever admire
and not, and not love you?
suffer,
love you,
dear lights!
