La mia spietata sorte
Vuol che m’affliga e muoia,
priva d’ogni mio ben, d’ogni mio gioia.
O ch’infelice morte,
poi che mesta e scontenta
morir conviemmi, pria
Ch’io vegga voi, mio ben,
voi, vita mia.

German.png German translation

Mein unbarmherziges Schicksal
will, dass ich mich quäle und sterbe,
beraubt all meines Glücks, all meiner Freude.
Oh welch unglücklicher Tod,
da ich traurig und unglücklich
sterben soll, bevor
ich Euch sehe, mein Heil,
Euch, mein Leben.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt

My merciless fate
wants me to agonize and die,
bereft of all my happiness, of all my joy.
Oh, what a miserable death,
since sad and grieved
I shall die before
I see you, my blessing,
you, my life.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt
