Original text and translations

Italian text Chi vuol veder' un Sole in negro velo avvolto? miri la donna mia che'l cor m'ha tolto che s'all'abito altrui mostro dolore, nel viso ha gioia e ne' begli occhi Amore.

English translation Who wishes to see a Sun wrapped in a black veil? Look at my lady who stole my heart, for though by her garb she shows sorrow, she has joy in her face and Love in her beautiful eyes. Translation by Allen Garvin
