Original text and translations

Italian text Gioite voi col canto mentre piango e sospiro, né dal mio lagrimar punto respiro. Ahi, misero mio core, nato sol al dolore, piangi, ma piangi tanto che vinta dal tuo pianto sia la mia donna, e poi rivedi in lei gl’affanni e i dolor miei.

English translation Take pleasure in singing, all of you, while I weep and sigh and, tormented by my own tears, cannot even breathe. Alas, my wretched heart, born only for distress, weep, but weep to such a point that my lady is won over by your complaint, and then you will see in her the same suffering which afflicts me. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
