Original text and translations

Italian text

Febre, ond’hor per le vene il ghiaccio corre,
Hor bolle intorno al core inusitato ardore,
Deh perdona al bel volto
E satia in me, crudele, il tuo furore
Che se fia di quest’alma il nodo sciolto,
Per dar a lei contro a la morte aita.
Il morir mi sera felice vita.

German translation

Fieber, weshalb bald durch die Venen Eis fließt,
bald im Herzen ungewohntes Feuer kocht,
ach, verzeih dem schönen Antlitz
und stille in mir, Grausames, dein Wüten,
denn wenn dieser Seele die Fessel gelöst wird,
Um ihr gegen den Tod Hilfe zu geben,
wird mir das Sterben ein glückliches Leben sein.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation

Feaver, which is why now ice runs through the veins,
now unusual fire boils in the heart,
alas, pardon the beautiful face
and still in me, cruel one, your rage,
for if the tie for this soul will be undone,
to give her aid against death,
then my dying will be happy living.
