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.
