Felicissimo sonno
Che ne le luci di madonna vivi
E noi di luce privi,
Deh, con un sogno messaggier le mostra
L'afflitta anima nostra;
Fà che in partir da lei pietà vi resti
E pietosa si desti.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
Most happy sleep,
dwelling in the eyes of my lady
and so depriving us of light,
I beg you, take her a message in a dream
to show her the affliction of my1 soul;
when you leave her, let mercy remain in her
so that she awakes inclined to pity.
1 Literally 'our', but probably only used for the sake of the rhyme.
