Verdi allori, Medoro's aria from Orlando

Verdi allori, sempre unito   	Oh, green laurels, preserve
conservate il nostro nome    	our names united forever
come unito sarà il cor.      	as our hearts will be.
E poi dite a chi lo miri     	Then tell whom that is looking at them
da qual mano,quando e come   	whose hand it was that
fosse in voi sì ben scolpito,	wrote such nice ciphers and when and how,
se volete che sospiri        	if you want him to sigh
invidiando il nostro amor.   	envying our love.
