Original text and translations

Italian text All' hor che l'alba indora le fosche ombre notturne, all' hor te bella Mora viddi apparite innante col tuo nero sembiante. Misero me, qual luce de l'alba mi riluce s'ancora gl'occhi intorno hò la notte nel giorno.

Dutch translation Wanneer de dageraad de donkere nachtschaduwen verguldt, wanneer ik jou, mooie Mora, zag verschijnen met je duistere gelaat. Ellendige, wat een licht van de dageraad schittert weer in mijn ogen. Ik heb de nacht in de dag.

English translation When the dawn gilds the dark night shadows, when I saw you, beautiful Mora, appear with your dark face. Wretched, what a light of dawn sparkles in my eyes again. I have the night in the day.
