Original text and translations

Italian text Asciugate i begli occhi, deh, cor mio, non piangete se lontano da voi gir mi vedete! Ahi, che pianger debb'io misero e sólo, ché partendo da voi m'uccide il duòlo.

English translation Dry those lovely eyes, alas, my beloved, do not weep if you see me wandering far away from you. For, ah, I must weep alone and in misery, because as I part from you, I suffer such bitter pain that my days are numbered. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
