Original text and translations

Italian text Deh, dolce anima mia che con tuoi vaghi lumi il cor m'ardi e consumi— fra foco giaccio, speme, e gelosia. Concedi a 'st'alma almeno che da tue dolce labbia il vital spirto rihabbia ch'in te ratto fuggì com'un baleno.

English translation Sweet soul of mine who burn and consume my heart with your beautiful eyes— I lie at once amidst fire, hope, and jealousy. At least grant to this soul that it may have back from your sweet lips the very living spirit which like lightning fled to you, stolen away. Translation by Campelli
