Original text and translations

Italian text Non sò se quel sorriso Mi schernisce o m'affida Se quel mirami fiso M'alletta o’mi diffida Già schernito e deriso Da bella donna infida Non vorrei piu che'l core Fosse strazio d'amore. Non vò più per dolcezza D'immaginato bene Nutriemi d'amarezza Vivendo sempre in pene, Nè per nuova bellezza Portar lacci, e catene, Nè graver l'alma ancella Di miserta novella.

English text I know not if that smile mocks or encourages me, If that stare beckons or distrusts me; I’ve already been scorned and spurned by a beautiful faithless lady; I wish not that my heart be tortured by love again. I do not want, for the sweetness of an imagined gift, to feed on sorrow, living always in pain, nor for a new beauty to be bound and chained, nor to burden my enslaved soul with new misery.
