O come è gran martire
a celar suo desire
quando con pura fede
s’ama chi non se’l crede.

O what great martyrdom it is
to conceal your desire
when, with pure faith,
you love someone who does not believe you.

Translation by Campelli

Ô, qu'il est un grand martyre
devoir cacher son désir
lorsqu'avec pure foi
on aime quelqu'un qui n'y croit pas.
