Misero che farò dirò ch'io moro,
fiera stell'empia sorte,
Ahi non sia ver,
perche colei ch'adoro,
gioisce di mia morte,
Amor, dammi tuaita
o levami la vita.
Mirate almen ch'io moro.

Wretched, what shall I do, I'll say that I die,
cruel star, wicked fate,
Ah, let it not be true,
for she whom I adore,
rejoices in my death,
Love, give me your aid,
or take away my life.
At least look upon me as I die.
