Original text and translations

Italian text 1 Chi mi dimandarà che cosa è amore Io gli risponderò piangendo forte Che amor è vita, ch’ha color di morte. 2 . Un dolce inganno un dilettoso errore Un vago pianto un dispiacevol riso E veder nel inferno il Paraqdiso. 3  E libera prigion senza timore Una falsa speranza un voler certo Servir al vento e non ricever merto. 4  Dunque fugite amanti il Dio d'amore Che chi serve un ingrato empio Signore Vi perte il tempo le fatiche l'hore.

German translation Übersetzung: Peter Rottländer Wenn mich jemand fragte, was Liebe sei, Antwortete ich ihm mit lauter Klage, Daß Liebe das Leben sei in der Farbe des Todes.

French translation Traduction: Vincent Carpentier À qui me demande ce qu'est l'amour Je lui réponds en pleurant beaucoup Que l'amour est une vie qui a la couleur de la mort.
