O dolorosa gioia,
O soave dolore,
Per cui quest'alma è mesta e lieta more!
O miei cari sospiri,
Miei graditi martiri,
Del vostro duol non mi lasciate privo
Poiché sì dolce mi fa morto e vivo.
English translation
Oh dolorous joy,
Oh sweet suffering,
which makes this spirit sad, yet causes it to die happy!
Oh my sighs, so dear to me,
my welcome torment,
do not release me from the pain you bestow;
for so sweetly it makes me feel both dead and alive.
