Original text and translations

Italian text Dolce fiammella mia s'hai tanto ardire, Con tua belta infinita, A mill'e mille cor dar mort'e vita, Ch'altro si potra dire, Se non che tu fai viver e morire.

English translation My sweet little flame, if you're such a firebrand, with your infinite beauty to give life and death to a thousand, thousand hearts, what else could one say if not that you make them live and die. Translation by Allen Garvin
