Original text and translations

Italian text Arde il mio cor ed è sì dolce il foco Che vive nell’ardore Onde lieto si more. O mia felice sorte, O dolce, o strana morte!

English translation My heart burns and the fire is so sweet That it lives in the blaze, And thus dies joyfully. O my blissful fate! O sweet, O strange death!
