Original text and translations
Italian text
- Fuggirò tant'Amore,
- Che scemerà l'ardore,
- Le fiamm' e le catene,
- Che tengono quest'alma in tante pene.
- Fuggirò tanto, tanto,
- Che cesserà il mio pianto,
- Il nodo, l’arco, e ’l strale,
- Che tien quest’alma in doglia aspra e mortale.
- Fuggirò il forte laccio,
- Et uscirò d’impaccio,
- Né di fuggir mi pento,
- E scemar quest’ardor che nel cor sento.
- Fuggirò dunque Amore,
- Sciolto dal fiero ardore,
- E dirò nel fuggire:
- "Donna tu sei cagion del mio martire"
English translation
- I will escape from so much Love,
- That the passion will diminish,
- The flames and the chains,
- That hold this soul in so much pain.
- I will escape so much,
- That my weeping will cease,
- The knot, the bow, the arrow,
- That keeps this soul in sore and deadly pain.
- I will escape the strong lace,
- And I will set me free,
- Not my escape I repent,
- Nor diminishing the passion I feel in my heart.
- I will escape therefore my Love,
- Free from the fierce passion,
- And I will say by escaping:
- "Woman, you are the cause of my martyrdom"
