Eyes, once my life,
eyes, sweet supports of this heart,
do you deny me help?
These are indeed the signs of my death.
No more hope or comfort,
it is time to die, why do I delay?
Eyes, that at such a great injustice
make me die, why do you turn your gaze?
Perhaps to not see how I adore you?
At least look upon me as I die.

Occhi, un tempo mia vita,
occhi, di questo cor dolci sostegni,
voi mi negate aita?
Questi son ben della mia morte i segni.
Non più speme o conforto,
tempo è ben [orig. sol] di morire, a che più tardo?
Occhi, ch'a sì gran torto
morir mi fate, a che torcete il guardo?
Forse per non mirar come v'adoro?
Mirate almen ch'io moro.

Eyes, once my life,
eyes, sweet supports of this heart,
do you deny me help?
These are indeed the signs of my death.
No more hope or comfort,
it is time to die, why do I delay?
Eyes, that at such a great injustice
make me die, why do you turn your gaze?
Perhaps to not see how I adore you?
At least look upon me as I die.
