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.

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.
