Quel dolce foc' in cui abbruggio ed ardo,<br>
 
e par ch'ad or' ad ora mi consumi,<br>
:Quel dolce foc' in cui abbruggio ed ardo,
non d'altro vien che da bei vostri lumi <br>
:e par ch'ad or' ad ora mi consumi,
però madonna fate sian più parchi <br>
:non d'altro vien che da bei vostri lumi
nella turbata vista verso <br>
:però madonna fate sian più parchi
di quel che v'ama anzi v'adora <br>
:nella turbata vista verso
e se per ben servir premio s'acquista <br>
:di quel che v'ama anzi v'adora
non siate causa che languendo mora <br>
:e se per ben servir premio s'acquista
perché l'eterno biasmo acquistarete <br>
:non siate causa che languendo mora
potendomi dar vita m'occidete. <br> <br>
:perché l'eterno biasmo acquistarete
<b>Translation(s): </b> <br>

The sweet fire in which I burn, <br>
{{Translation|English}}
And that seems to consume me hour by hour, <br>
 
Only comes from your beautiful lights ''(read: eyes)''. <br>
:The sweet fire in which I burn,
But, Milady, let them be more moderate <br>
:And that seems to consume me hour by hour,
In the troublesome look <br>
:Only comes from your beautiful lights ''(read: eyes)''.
At whom loves you, or more, adores you. <br>
:But, Milady, let them be more moderate
And if it's true that, serving well, a prize is won <br>
:In the troublesome look
Don't be the cause of his languishing death <br>
:At whom loves you, or more, adores you.
Because you would acquire eternal blame <br>
:And if it's true that, serving well, a prize is won
If, being able to give me life, you would kill me. <br>
:Don't be the cause of his languishing death
:Because you would acquire eternal blame
:If, being able to give me life, you would kill me.

The sweet fire in which I burn,
And that seems to consume me hour by hour,
Only comes from your beautiful lights (read: eyes).
But, Milady, let them be more moderate
In the troublesome look
At whom loves you, or more, adores you.
And if it's true that, serving well, a prize is won
Don't be the cause of his languishing death
Because you would acquire eternal blame
If, being able to give me life, you would kill me.
