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.png 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.
