Italian text
Ah, dolente partita!
ah, fin de la mia vita!
da te parto e non moro?
E pur i provo
la pena de la morte
e sento nel partire
un vivace morire,
che da vita al dolore
per far che moia immortalmente il core
English translation
Ah, painful leaving!
Ah, end of my life!
From thee I leave and I don't die?
But I feel
The pain of death
And I feel on leaving
A lively dying,
Which gives life to pain
To let my heart immortally die.
