<poem>
Ahimè, dov' è'l bel viso,<br>
Ahimè, dov' è'l bel viso,
In cui solea tener suo nid' Amore,<br>
In cui solea tener suo nid' Amore,
E dove ripost' era ogni mia speme?<br>
E dove ripost' era ogni mia speme?
Dov' è'l bel viso, Il bel viso <br>
Dov' è'l bel viso, Il bel viso  
Ch'ornav 'il mondo di splendore,<br>
Ch'ornav 'il mondo di splendore,
Il mio caro thesoro, il sommo bene?<br>
Il mio caro thesoro, il sommo bene?
Oi mè, chi me'l ritien', chi me lo cela <br>
Oi mè, chi me'l ritien', chi me lo cela  
O fortuna, o mort' ingorda <br>
O fortuna, o mort' ingorda  
Cieca spietata e sorda,<br>
Cieca spietata e sorda,
Chi m'ha tolto'l mio cor, chi me l'asconde?<br>
Chi m'ha tolto'l mio cor, chi me l'asconde?
Dov' è'l ben mio, che più non mi risponde? <br>
Dov' è'l ben mio, che più non mi risponde?

Alas, where's the beautiful face, <br>
Alas, where's the beautiful face,  
Where Love used to have his nest, <br>
Where Love used to have his nest,  
And where all of my hopes were? <br>
And where all of my hopes were?  
Where's the beautiful face, the beautiful face <br>
Where's the beautiful face, the beautiful face  
That adorned the world with magnificence, <br>
That adorned the world with magnificence,  
My dear treasure, the greatest good? <br>
My dear treasure, the greatest good?  
Alas, who's holding it from me, who's hiding it? <br>
Alas, who's holding it from me, who's hiding it?  
Oh luck, oh greedy death <br>
Oh luck, oh greedy death
Blind, pitiless and deaf, <br>
Blind pitiless and deaf,  
Who took my heart from me, who's hiding it? <br>
Who took my heart from me, who's hiding it?
Where's my darling, that's not answering to me? <br>
Where's my darling, that's not answering to me?

Ahimè, dov' è'l bel viso,
In cui solea tener suo nid' Amore,
E dove ripost' era ogni mia speme?
Dov' è'l bel viso, Il bel viso
Ch'ornav 'il mondo di splendore,
Il mio caro thesoro, il sommo bene?
Oi mè, chi me'l ritien', chi me lo cela
O fortuna, o mort' ingorda

Alas, where's the beautiful face,
Where Love used to have his nest,
And where all of my hopes were?
Where's the beautiful face, the beautiful face
That adorned the world with magnificence,
My dear treasure, the greatest good?
Alas, who's holding it from me, who's hiding it?
Oh luck, oh greedy death
Blind pitiless and deaf,
Who took my heart from me, who's hiding it?
Where's my darling, that's not answering to me?
