Italian text
O tenebroso giorno,
Infelice mio stato,
O mio cor tristo, solo a pianger nato!
Quando lieto ritorno
Farai dinanzi a quella
Che è più d'ogni altra bella,
Più leggiadra e più vaga,
Che con suoi sguardi morte e vita appaga?
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
Oh dark day,
unhappy is my state:
My sad heart, born only to weep!
When will you happily return to her
who is more beautiful than any other,
more graceful and more charming,
and who with her glances pours balm on both death and life?
