Original text and translations

Italian.png Italian text

Care lagrime mie, de mie pene rie
Messi dolenti, de mie pene rie.
Poi che voi non potete far molle,
ohimè quel core
che non have pietà del mio dolore.

Se del mio lagrimare
Hai fatto amor col mare
Dunque, per cortesia,
Ammorzate l’accesa fiamma mia
O pur crescete tanto
Nel mio stesso pianto
Ch’io mi sommerga
nel mio stesso pianto.

English.png English translation

My dear tears, messengers of my hard pains,
alas, since you can't soften the heart
that has no pity for my sorrow;
if you [my love] from my weeping
have grown fond of the sea
then be so kind as to extinguish
my burning fire.
Rise so much that I may sink
into my own weeping.
