No one has ever led a happier life than I once did:
no one's days and nights are more sorrowful than mine.
no one's days and nights are more sorrowful than mine.
As the pain is redoubled, so doubled is the dagger
As the pain is redoubled, so doubled is the dagger

no remedy for death there is but death itself.

Nessun visse giamai piu di me lieto;
Nessun vive piu tristo e giorni e notti:
E doppiando'l dolor, doppia lo stile,
Che trahe del cor si lagrimose rime.
Vissi di speme; hor vivo pur di pianto,
Ne contra morte spero altro che morte.

No one has ever led a happier life than I once did:
no one's days and nights are more sorrowful than mine.
As the pain is redoubled, so doubled is the dagger
that draws from my heart such tearful verse.
I used to live inspired by hope; yet now my life is filled with lamenting:
no remedy for death there is but death itself.
