Original text and translations

Italian.png Italian text

Viver non posso più
Senza te, core,
Poi che dal petto mio
fatt’hai partita,
son contento morir,
non voglio vita.

German.png German translation

Nicht leben kann ich mehr
ohn’ dich, mein Herze,
denn weil aus meinem Sinn
willst fort du streben,
ist das Sterben mir recht,
ich will nicht leben.
      (Metrische Übersetzung)

Translation by Gerhard Weydt

I can no longer live
without you, my heart,
for since out of my mind
you have gone,
I am contented to die,
I don’t want life.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt
