Italian text

Io v’amo, vita mia,
volli sovente dire
ed ardo ahi lasso.

Chiuse la voc’entro le labbi amore
e vergogna e timore
e mi cangiar d’huom vivo in muto sasso.

Amor, ma se to vuoi ch’i miei martiri,
Io pur taccia e sospiri.
Tu dilli à lei che mi consuma e sface
e le riscalda il sen con la tua face.
