Original text and translations

Italian text Dolce mia fiamma, dolce mia pena e mio tormento, dolce il languir, dolce il martir ch'io sento, dolci sono i tuoi raggi e le faville; e mentre a mill'a mille passano in questo core, dico: «s'egli si more, il suo morir non prezza, né morrà per dolor, ma per dolcezza.»

English translation My sweet flame, my sweet pain and my torment, sweet the languishing, sweet the suffering I feel, sweet are your rays and your sparks; and while by the thousandfold they enter this heart, I say: 'If it die, its death is of no account, for it shall perish not for sorrow, but for sweetness.' Translation by Allen Garvin
