Original text and translations

Italian text Altro non è'l mi'amor che'l paradiso: che'l paradis'è un sol sommo diletto qual prend'in veder Dio ciascun eletto, né altro gaudi'è nell'eterno riso. Adunqu'il paradiso è'l mi' amor vero che con somma letizia al cor unita, ogn' hor veggio'l mio sol vago ed altero. Ahi possanza d'amor, tant'infinita, che'l paradis'ancor conded'in vita.

French translation Mon amour n'est rien d'autre que le Paradis : car le Paradis est le seul délice suprême qui saisit chaque élu à la vue de Dieu, pas d'autre jouissance en cet éternel sourire. Ainsi mon véritable amour est un Paradis qui emplit d'une joie extrême mon coeur, à chaque instant, soleil grâcieux et fier. Ah, puissance de l'amour, tellement infinie, qui nous accordera le paradis de notre vivant.

English translation Nothing is my love but Paradise: 'Cause the Paradise is the only one highest delight As feels in seeing God every selected man, Nor is other pleasure in the eternal smile. Therefore is Paradise my real love Where, with highest joy joined to my heart, Every time I see my sun, distant and proud. Ah, power of Love, so endless, That Paradise even allows in life.

Latvian translation Nav citas mīlas man kā paradīze: Jo paradīze ir laime visuaugstākā Ko jūt katrs, uzlūkojot Dievu Ne citās baudās vai mūžīgās smejās. Tādēļ paradīze ir mana patiesā mīla Kas augstākajā priekā sirdi vieno Ikreiz, kad redzu sauli tālu un svešādu. Ak, mīlas nebeidzamais spēks, Kas paradīzi dod mums jau dzīvē.
