Original text and translations
Italian text
- Tanta beltad'è in voi e leggiadria
- che per la rimembranza
- null'altro che'l morir per lei m'avanza
- ché qualor gli occhi giro verso di voi
- madonn'un tant'ardore in me
- s'accend'in mod'una tal fiamma
- che tutt'a dramma dramma
- in poco spacio e'n un breve sospiro
- m'infiamma l'alma el corp'i sens'el core
- che sempr'a tutte l'ore
- si strugge'l cor in sì dolce languire
- e morir brama e morir brama
- e non puote morire e non puote morire.
English translation
- So much beauty is in you, and loveliness
- That for its remembrance
- Nothing remains to me, but dying
- Because when I turn my eyes to you
- Milady, such a fire in me
- Lightens, with such a flame,
- That, piece by piece
- In little space and in a brief breath
- Sets in flames my soul, my body, my senses and my heart
- That always, any time,
- My heart pines in such a sweet languishing
- And wishes to die, wishes to die
- And cannot die, cannot die.
