Italian text
Perchè fuggi, anima mia,
Da chi t’ama e ti desia?
La cagion saper vorrei
Che t’ascondi agli occhi miei.
S’io te seguo per amore,
Perchè darmi ognor dolore?
La cagion saper vorrei
Degli affanni e pianti miei.
Resta tanto che tu senti
Le mie doglie e i miei tormenti
Forse te ne pentirai
Di fuggirmi e darmi guai.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
Why do you flee, my beloved,
From the man who loves and desires you?
Please tell me why
You hide yourself from my eyes.
If I pursue you for love,
Why do you constantly bring me sorrow?
Please tell me the reason
For my troubles and laments.
At least you listen
When I tell you of my pains and torments:
Maybe you will repent
Of fleeing me and wounding my heart.
