Can anyone translate this song from Italian to English?

I tried really hard to figure it out. I have a loose translation on the sheet music, in which the song is called "Like any Foolish Moth I Fly." I think farfalleta is moth or erfly, but the internet translator didn't know the word. Also, I couldn't understand the grammar on the internet translation, and I know that it's not a good source. I even tried looking in my Latin dictionary to see if I could figure out any words by where they came from. Anyway, It may not be typed perfectly, since the sheet music has dashed and things inbetween syllables and words when you are supposed to hold a note, and so I had to get it off of the internet and make a correction. This is it: Qual farfalletta amante, io volo a quella fiamma, che in petto il cor m' infiamma, e morte non mi da. Il vago tuo sembiante Se accrescein me l'ardore Aquest' afflit to core Ristoro pur dara
