Troppo ben può questo tirann’ Amore
Troppo ben può questo tiranno Amore,
Pochè non vai fuggire a cho no’l può soffrire.
poiché non val fuggire
Quand’io penso tal’ hor com’ arde e pugna, io dico:
a chi nol può soffrire.
Ah! Core stolto, non l’aspettar, che fai?
Quand'i' penso talor com'arde e punge,
Fuggilo si che non ti prenda mai.
i' dico: – Ah, core stolto,
Ma non so com’ il lusingher mi giunge
non l'aspettar, che fai?
Ch’io dico: Ah! Core sciolto,
Fuggilo sì che non ti prenda mai –.
Perchè fuggito l’hai?
Ma poi sì dolce il lusinghier mi giunge,
Prendilo si che non ti fugga mai.
ch'i' dico: – Ah, core sciolto,

perché fuggito l'hai?
Prendilo sì che non ti fugga mai –.}}

This tyrannical Love is all too strong:
even he who despises it
is unable to flee from it.
At times, when I think of how it burns and stings,
I say: – Ah, foolish heart,
what are you doing? Don't long for it!
Run away, that it may never catch you –.
But then, love hits me, so sweet and flattering
that I say: – Ah, silly heart,
why did you ever run from it?
Catch it, instead, that Love may never leave you –.}}

Až příliš už bylo téhle tyranie Lásky,
které již nelze uniknout a
kterou nechci dál už trpět.
Když pomyslím na její plameny a rány,
říkám: Ach srdce pošetilé,
Nečekej na ni, co blázníš?
Uteč hned, nikdy ti nebude patřit.
Ale nevím, který lichotník mi vládne,
Když si říkám: Ach srdce pošetilé,
Proč odsud utíkáš?
Vezmi si ji, aby ti už nikdy neutekla.

Latin contrafactum Ure me

Latin.png Latin text

Ure me, Domine, amore tuo,
quem fecit amor mori,
incende me hoc igne,
subice cordi meo facem tuam.
O Iesu, amore tuo
liquescere me velis,
fugiat omnis amor mei a me,
lasciviant mihi propter te medullæ.
O Iesu, amore tuo
anima mea languet;
iam rapior amore tuo dulci.

English.png English translation

Consume me, Lord, with your love
which made love die,
burn me with that fire,
sear your countenance onto [lit. place under] my heart.
O Jesus, deign melt me
with your love;
may all self-love leave me,
may my whole being desire after you.
O Jesus, may my soul
be listless because of your love;
may I soon be entranced by your sweet love.
