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.

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.
