Original text and translations

The Italian text reveals that it is spoken by a female voice, which is not visible in the translations.

Italian text 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 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

English translation 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
