Languisce al fin chi da la vita parte
E di morte il dolore
L'affligge sì che in crude pene more.
Ahi, che quello son io,
Dolcissimo cor mio,
Che da voi parto e per mia crudel sorte
La vita lascio e me ne vado a morte.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
He who is slipping away from life languishes towards his end,
and the suffering of death
so afflicts him that he dies in cruel pains.
Alas, that person is me,
my sweetest love:
it is I who am leaving you,
and my cruel fate is such
that I must part from life and die.
