Original text and translations

Italian text Fece da voi partita questa dolente vita, ma per opra d'Amore nel vostro petto rimase il mio core, e s'alcun dice, come avvien, che viva essendo di cor priva dite lor ch'a gli amanti è dato in sorte vivre e morir di doppia vita e morte.

English translation Separated from you, this sad life was made; yet through the work of Love, my heart remained in your breast, and if it happens that someone says I live being of my heart deprived, tell them that it is given to lovers to live and die a double life, and death. Translation by Allen Garvin
