Italian text
Anima dolorosa che vivendo
tanto peni e tormenti
quant'odi e parli e pensi e miri e senti,
amor spiri? Che speri? Ancor dimori
in questa viva morte? in quest'inferno
de le tue pene eterno?
Mori, misera, mori!
Che tardi piú? che fai?
Perché, mort'al piacer, vivi al martire?
Perché vivi al morire?
Consuma il duol che ti consuma omai,
di questa morte che par vita uscendo.
Mori, meschina, al tuo morir morendo.
German translation
Schmerzerfüllte Seele, die du unendliche Leiden und Qualen erlebst,
wie sehr haßt Du, sprichst, denkst, begehrst, fühlst und verlangst nach Liebe du?
Stirb, Elende, stirb! Was zögerst du noch? Was machst du?
Warum lebst du, der Freude gestorben, für das Martyrium?
Warum lebst Du dem Tode?
Verzehre den Schmerz dieses Todes, der dich nunmehr verzehrt
und dir das Leben zu nehmen scheint.
Stirb, Elende, an deinem Tode sterbend.
