Original text and translations

Italian text Ancor che col partire io mi sento morire, partir vorrei ogn' hor, ogni momento: tant' il piacer ch'io sento de la vita ch'acquisto nel ritorno: et cosi mill' e mille volt' il giorno partir da voi vorrei: tanto son dolci gli ritorni miei.

German translation Obwohl ich beim Scheiden Spüren sollte, daß ich sterbe, Möchte ich jederzeit, jeden Augenblick scheiden, So groß ist die Freude, die ich fühle Am neuen Leben, das ich in der Wiederkehr erhalte. Und so möchte ich tausende Male am Tag Von Euch scheiden, So süß ist mein Wiederkehren. Translation by Peter Rottländer

Spanish translation Aunque al partir yo me siento morir partir querría cada hora, cada instante: tanto es el placer que siento de la vida que adquiero en el retorno: y así, miles de veces al día partir de vos querría: tan dulces son los retornos míos. Translation by Andrés García

English translation Although when I part from you it is a kind of dying, I would be glad to leave you every hour, every moment, so great is my joy as life comes flooding back to me on my return: and so a thousand times a day I would that I could part from you: for so my heart leaps when we are reunited. Translation by Mick Swithinbank

French translation

Bien que de partir
Je me sente mourir,
Partir j’aimerais, chaque heure, chaque instant
Tant de plaisir je ressent
De la vie acquise dans le retour,
Et ainsi mille et mille fois chaque jour,
Partir de vous je suis envieux
tant mes retours sont délicieux.

Translation by Alain Gervreau
