this video is of phia15 singing Caro mio ben by Tomasso Giordani. It was written between 1730-1806. Giordani made this poem into a song, but the poet was unknown. This song is in Italian, so I will translate.
caro mio ben: my dear beloved
credimi almen: believe me at least,
senza di te: without you
languisceil cor: my heart languishes.
il tuo fedel: your faithful one
sospira ognor: always sighs
cessa crudel: cruel one,
tanto rigor: cease so much rigiditry!
