Come back again, I beg you, Gongyla.
Reveal yourself in your garment
white as milk; o what desire
forever around you, my lovely girl.
This charming garment stirs her
who beholds you, for she who expresses
this reproach to you is the goddess herself
Cyprus-born, whom now I invoke.
O mia Gongila, ti prego:
metti la tunica bianchissima
o vieni a me davanti: intorno a te
vola desiderio d’amore.
Così adorna, fai tremare chi guarda;
e io ne godo, perchè la tua bellezza
rimprovera Afrodite.
