Potrai dunque partire,
O mio bramato bene,
E qui lasciar mi in dolorose pene?
Deh, non mi far morire,
Crudel, ma i passi arresta,
Quest’è sommo desire,
E rivolgi il mio duol in gioia e in festa.

German.png German translation

Könntest du fortgehen,
o mein ersehntes Heil,
und hier mich zurücklassen in schmerzhafter Pein?
Ach, lass mich nicht sterben,
Grausame, sondern halte an deine Schritte,
das ist mein höchstes Sehnen,
und verwandle meinen Schmerz in Freude und Fröhlichkeit.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt

Could you go away,
oh my coveted blessing,
and leave me here in dolorous pain?
Oh do not let me die,
cruel one, but arrest your steps,
this is my utmost desire,
and turn my pain into joy and feasting.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt
