O voi troppo felici,
Che mirate il mio sole
E cangiate con lui sguardi e parole;
Quel che a voi sopravanza, ahi, potessi io
Raccor per cibo a gli occhi del cor mio.

English.png English translation by Mick Swithinbank

Oh you, too happy people,
Who look upon my sun
And exchange looks and words with him,
If only I could gather your leftovers
As food for the eyes of my heart.
