Original text and translations

Italian text Amor io sento l'alma Tornar' nel foco ov'io Fu liet'et più che mai d'arder desio, et più che mai d'arder desio. S'tu mi reacend'il core, Et io ne son contenta Et ritorn'humilment'al giogh'antico Opra ch'el mio signore Parre del foco senta Ov'io dolc'ardo ci mei pensier' nutrico; Fa che ponga in oblio Mia fugh'e dilli e mio novo desio, e dilli e mio novo desio.

English translation My love, I feel my soul Coming back to the fire, where I Was happy, and more than ever I wish to burn, And more than ever I wish to burn. If again you set my heart on fire, And I'm happy of it And humbly go back to the ancient yoke, Let my master Feel that fire too Where I burn and my thoughts nourish; Let him forget My escape, and tell him about my new wish And tell him about my new wish.
