Italian text

Dolci care parole,
poiché più non vi sento:
O come presto v'ha levato il vento,
e con voi tratto insieme
il mio cor, la mia vita e la mia speme.

English translation

Sweet, dear words,
since I no longer hear you:
O how quickly the wind carried you away,
and together with you has taken
my heart, my life, and my hope.

Translation by Allen Garvin
