Original text and translations

Italian text La dipartita è amara; Ma perché è dolc’e cara La giunta del ritorno, da l’infelice giorno De la partenza ria Nasce la gioia mia.

German translation Der Abschied ist bitter; aber da süß und lieb ist die Ankunft bei der Rückkehr, so erwächst aus dem unglücklichen Tag meiner traurigen Abreise meine Freude. Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation The parting is bitter; but as sweet and dear is the arrival at returning, hence out of the unfortunate day of my miserable departure arises my joy. Translation by Gerhard Weydt
