Editor: Miguel Jesus (submitted 2019-07-31).   Score information: A4, 4 pages, 123 kB   Copyright: CPDL
Edition notes: Changed three notes so that the section from bar 37 to bar 40 is an exact transposition of the previous one (bars 33 - 36). The only edition I used was the original 1603 partbook, maybe this was corrected in later versions but I haven't checked.

Cor mio, mentre vi miro,
visibilmente mi trasformo in voi,
e trasformato poi,
in un solo sospir l'anima spiro.
O bellezza mortale,
O bellezza vitale,
poiché sí tosto un core
per te rinasce, e per te nato more.

English.png English translation

Oh my heart, while I watch you,
I am patently transformed in you,
and, once transformed,
in a single breath I exhale my spirit.
Oh, mortal beauty,
Oh, vital beauty,
because a heart quickly lives again
for you; and for you, if alive, it dies.

Czech.png Czech translation

Můj anděli, když Vás spatřím,
Zřetelně s vámi se proměňuji.
A pak, takto proměněn
V jediném vzdechu duši vypustím.
O kráso smrtelná,
O kráso oživující,
Kterak se uzdraví srdce,
Jenž se pro tebe zrodilo
A pro tebe zrozené, umírá.
