Original text and translations

Italian text Piango che Amor con disusato oltraggio Di nuova fiamma il cor m'incende e rode. Sospiro che un fiorito e verde Maggio Più sfortunato amante oggi non gode. Dogliomi sol che un chiaro e vivo raggio Di due begli occhi lagrimar non m'ode. Che fin forse darian pietosi alquanto, Al lamento, ai sospiri, al duro pianto.

English translation I cry, because Love, with unused outrage Of a new flame my heart burns and consumes. I sigh, because a green and flourished May The most unlucky lover now doesn't enjoy. I pain because a clear and lively ray From two beautiful eyes doesn't hear* my tears. Maybe, pitiful, they will give an end To sorrow, to sighs and bitter crying. (probably used for rhyme instead of "see")

Dutch translation Wee mij, de Liefde heeft in wraakvol streven opnieuw in ‘t oude hart haar vuur ontstoken. Ik huiver, ik huiver: waar de Mei het groen doet leven, is aan mijn dorre boezem treurnis ontloken, bloesem van smart om twee volmaakte ogen, onwetend van het kwaad dat zij verrichten. O, mochten zij opeens, vol mededogen voor mijn klagen, mijn ellend(e) en pijn verlichten. c.f. score with Dutch text.

Spanish translation Lloro amor con indignación desacostumbrada. Con nueva llama el corazón se me enciende y consume. Suspiro porque un florido y verde Mayo, el más desafortunado amante hoy no goce. Peno porque el rayo claro y vívido de dos bellos ojos, no me oiga llorar. Qué fin, quizá piadoso, darán al lamento, al suspiro y al amargo llanto.
