Italian text
Bella che tieni li capigli d'oro,
chel tuo bel nome,
dire non si puo
meschino che faro besognara morire,
chel non vederti
non si puo sofrire
English translation
Beauty with the golden hair,
how beautiful is your name,
Tell me why you can't
have pitty on him who is about die
when he can not see you
who can't suffer any more.
