Original text and translations

Italian text Questi nel mio partir ch'escon dal core angosciosi sospir in copia ardenti, Donna, fede vi fan de' miei tormenti, e queste amare lagrime ch'io verso in abundanza, ohimè! dagli occhi fuore v'accertan ben dell'aspro mio dolore. Ecco vi lascio 'l cor di piant'asperso, del mio fedel servir pegno verace: Restate vita mia, restate in pace.

English translation These anguished skies that flee my heart with my departure in burning abundance, Lady, bear witness to you of my torments, and these bitter tears that I shed in abundance, Alas! from my eyes well assure you of my cruel sorry. Here I leave you my heart, bedewed with weeping, a true token of my faithful service: Leave me my life, abide in peace. Translation by Allen Garvin
