Italian.png Italian text

Ahi, che quest'occhi miei ch'erano lieti
Son diventati fonti di dolore,
Che versan giorno e notte amaro umore.

Ahi, che questo mio cor che fu felice
è ora oppresso di si gran martire,
ch'eleggerei per minor mal morire.

English.png English translation

Ah, these eyes of mine, which were happy
Have become fountains of pain,
That night and day pour bitter tears.

Ah, that this my heart that was happy
is now oppressed with so great suffering,
that I would be happy to die for less.
