Original text and translations

Italian text Beltà poi che t’assenti Come ne porti il cor Porta i tormenti. Ché tormentato cor può ben sentire La doglia del morire, E un alma senza core, Non può sentir dolore.

German translation Schöne, da du dich entfernst Nimm nicht nur das Herz Nimm auch die Qualen mit. Denn ein gemartertes Herz kann wohl fühlen die Qual des Sterbens, Und eine herzlose Seele kann nicht fühlen den Schmerz.
