Original text and translations

Italian text Al partir del mio sole piansi la vista sua la vita mia, ch'al suo duro partir da me partia, da me partia hor ch'egli torna. Io canto e con la rimembranza di quel giorno si pien d'amaro pianto addolcisco la gioia del ritorno. Ò felice partita che fai più cara col morir la vita.

Dutch translation Bij het vertrek van mijn zon ween ik om zijn aangezicht, mijn leven, nu hij wreed van mij zal vertrekken, en me verlaat totdat hij terugkeert. Ik zing en met de herinnering aan die dag zo vol bittere tranen verheug ik mij op je terugkeer. Ò gelukkig vertrek dat je geliefder maakt door het leven te laten sterven.

English translation At the departure of my sun I weep for his face, my life, now that he will leave me cruelly, and leaves me until he returns. I sing and with the memory of that day so full of bitter tears I look forward to your return. Ò happy departure that makes you more loved by letting life die.
