Italian text

Deh, come invan sospiro,

Deh, come invan vi miro,

Poiché, crudel, voi fate ogni un gioire

Et a me sol morire!

Infelice mia sorte,

Che la vita per me divenga morte.

German translation by Kurt Pages

Ach, wie vergebens seufze ich,

Ach, wie vergebens schaue ich Euch an,

Weshalb, Grausame, schenkt Ihr allen eine Freude

Und mir bleibt allein zu sterben!

Unglücklich ist mein Schicksal,

Das das Leben für mich zu Tod werden lässt.
