Dolcissima mia vita,
a che tardate la bramata aita?

Credete forse ond' ardo,
sia per finir perche torcete il guardo?
 
Ahi, non fia mai che brama
il mio desire o d'amarti o morire.


English.png English translation

Sweetest life,
why do you withhold the relief which I long for?

Perhaps you think that my burning desire will end,
because you turn away whenever I see you?

Alas, this cannot be,
I must either love you or die.
