Original text and translations

Italian text Se parti i’ moro; e pur partir conviene. Morrò dunque il mio bene? E questa empia partita che mi ti toglie, mi torrà la vita? Dolorosa partita che m’uccidi, quei che congiunse Amor, perché dividi?

English translation If you part, I'll die. Yet you have to. So, will I die, my love? This cruel departure drags you away; will it drag away my life? Sad departure, killing me: why sunder those whom Love has joined together? Translation by Nicholas Jones
