Original text and translations
Original text: Or che in gioia credea viver contento m'apre la gioia il seno, fuggesi l’alma e’l cor, oimè, vien meno.
O sempre crudo Amore, nella gioia non men che nel dolore, tu sempre, o peni il core, o pur gioisca, fai ch’amando languisca.
Translation(s): Now when in joy I thought to live content joy breaches my breast my soul and heart flee, ah alas! I faint.
Oh ever cruel Love, in joy as in sorrow, You ever bringing woe to the heart, or happiness, you make me languish loving.
