Original text and translations

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

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

English translation 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
