Original text and translations

Italian text Il vagh' e dolce sguardo, qual hor lieto rivolta, madonn'in me tutt' ardo, per la gran gioia ch'è in me raccolta. Ma poi ch'ella m'ascolta, e che selvaggi'e schiva ver me ver me si mostra più ch'io non vorrei, quasi m'adir a lei. Vuol che liet' e penoso così viva.

English translation The pretty and sweet look, That now you happily turn to me: My lady, I burn inside, For the great joy that I feel. But then, she listens to me, And that shows herself looking at me Wild and retiring Even more than I'd like her to, It almost makes me angry. She wants me to live happily and painfully.
