Original text and translations

Italian text Se nasce in Cielo il dio di Delo, a l'occidente guinge repente. Se si fa notte segue l'Aurora, e 'l ciel indora. Brieve baleno dura al sereno, ogni tempesta al fin s'arresta. Verdeggia il ramo e poi si spoglia d'ogni sua foglia. Nasce vicina al fior la spina, seguita il pianto al riso accanto. Solo l'Amore, estate e verno dura in eterno. Amor ci affligge e ci traffigge, se nasce indarno se mort' il giorno. In ogni tempo, Amor ci segue e ci persegue.

English translation As soon as he rises in the sky, Apollo hastens to the west. Hard on night's heels comes the dawn, gilding the sky. Lightning lasts but briefly in clear skies, every storm comes to an end. Boughs put forth greenery, then shed every leaf. Close to the flower the thorn appears, tears soon follow laughter. Only Love, come winter, come summer, lasts forever. Love afflicts itself and transfixes itself, everytime a day is born and dead in vain. At all times, Love follows it, and runs after it.
