Original text and translations
Italian text
A che tormi il ben mio
s'io dico di morire?
Questo, madonna, è troppo gran martire.
Ahi vita, ahi mio tesoro,
e perderò il ben mio con dir ch'io moro?
English translation
Why take my love from me
if I speak of dying?
This, my lady, is too great a trial.
Ah life, ah my treasure!
and will I lose my love for saying I die?
