Original text and translations

Italian text Anchor che co'l partire io mi senta morire, partir vorrei ogn' hor, ogni momento, tant'il piacer ch'io sento, de la vita ch'acquisto nel ritorno et cosi mill'e mill'e volt' il giorno, partir da voi, da voi vorrei, tanto son dolci gli ritorni miei.

English translation Although when I part from you it is a kind of dying, I would be glad to leave you every hour, every moment, so great is my joy as life comes flooding back to me on my return: and so a thousand times a day I would that I could part from you: for so my heart leaps when we are reunited. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
