Original text and translations

Italian text Tu dormi? Ahi, crudo core, tu puoi dormir, perch'in te dorme amore. Io piango, e le mie voci lagrimose a te, che sorda sei, portano invano, ahimé, l'aure pietose. Ah, ben i pianti miei pon far pietosi i venti: ma te fan più crudele i miei lamenti.

English translation Sleep you? Ah, cruel heart, indeed you sleep, now that in you sleeps Love. I cry and my sor rowful words, ah, to you, my uncaring beauty, carry, in vain, my ardent desires. Ah, my pleas could move the wind; but my lament only makes you crueler.
