My last sighs  
My last sighs  
leave me cold  
who leave me cold  
without life.
and without life.
Count my martyrdoms  
Tell my martyrdoms  
to the one who sees me  
to the one who sees me die
and does not help me.
and does not help me,
And speak, O infinite beauty,  
and say: O infinite beauty,  
that your faithful one  
from your faithful one  
may be spared pitiless suffering
pitiless suffering chases us,
and if this is pleasing to her,  
and if this is pleasing to her,  
go swiftly to heaven to a better state,
go swiftly to heaven to a better state,

Ultimi miei sospiri
che mi lasciate fredd'
e senza vita.
Contate i miei martiri
A chi morir mi vede
et non m'aita,
et dite: o beltà infinita,
dal tuo fedel
ne caccia empio martire.
Et se questo gli e grato,
gitene rat' in ciel a miglior stato,
ma se pietà gli porg'il vostro dire,
tornat' a me,
ch'io non voro morire.

My last sighs
who leave me cold
and without life.
Tell my martyrdoms
to the one who sees me die
and does not help me,
and say: O infinite beauty,
from your faithful one
pitiless suffering chases us,
and if this is pleasing to her,
go swiftly to heaven to a better state,
but if your words arouse her pity,
return to me
because I do not want to die.
