Original text and translations

Italian text Dolor tant'è la gioia che mi dai ch'io vo cantand'ognora: dolor del petto mio non uscir mai e se gli avvien ch'i' mora per via delle tue armi sentirò di dolcezza allor bearmi. E possendo parlar in quello stato, dirò che 'l mio dolor mi fa beato.

English translation Such great pain is the joy that you give me that I go singing every hour: pain in my breast that never leaves me: and if it happens that I die by way of your weapons, then I will blessed by sweetness. And if being able to speak in that state, I will say that my pain makes me blessed. Translation by Allen Garvin
