Original text and translations

Italian text Beltà poi che t’assenti Come ne porti il cor Porta i tormenti. Ché tormentato cor può ben sentire La doglia del morire, E un alma senza core, Non può sentir dolore.

English translation Beauty, since you depart, as you take my heart, take also my torments. For a tormented heart can surely feel the pain of death, but a soul without its heart can feel no grief.

German translation Schöne, da du dich entfernst Nimm nicht nur das Herz Nimm auch die Qualen mit. Denn ein gemartertes Herz kann wohl fühlen die Qual des Sterbens, Und eine herzlose Seele kann nicht fühlen den Schmerz.
