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.

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
