I am a newbie to learn Latin,and I got a question today.

For example:
Puella Dianae coronam dat quia Dianam amat.
Translations:
1.The girl gives Diana a wreath,because the girl loves Diana.
2.The girl gives Diana a wreath,because Diana loves the wreath.
so,my question is above,which tranlation is correct?
PS:
as my thought,the first one is right,because there is only one subject case-- "puella".
and if translate to "because Diana loves the wreath" then I think the sentence will be "quia Diana coronam amat."
am I right?
Puella Dianae coronam dat quia Dianam amat.
Translations:
1.The girl gives Diana a wreath,because the girl loves Diana.
2.The girl gives Diana a wreath,because Diana loves the wreath.
