Italian text

Cantai, mentre ch'i arsi, del mio foco
La viva fiamma ov'io morendo vissi,
Ben che quant'io cantai e quant’io scrissi
Di madonna e d’amor fu nulla o poco.
Ma se i begli occhi ond’il mio cor s’accese,
Del lor chiaro divin almo splendore
Non m’havessero a torto fatto indegno,
Col canto havrei l’interno e grave ardore
A gl’orecchi di tal fatto palese
Che pietà fora ov’alberga ira e sdegno.
A gl’amorosi strali fermo segno sarei,
pieno di dolce aspro martiro
Ov’hora in libertà piagno e sospiro:
Ay, pace in cor d’amanti non ha loco.

English translation

I sang while I burned from the living flame
of my fire, in which I, dying, lived,
although what I sang and what I wrote
of my lady and of love were nothing, or little.
But if the fair eyes whence my heart was ignited
had not wrongly found me unworthy
of their bright, divine, life-giving splendor,
with song I would have revealed
my inward grievous passion to her ears,
so that there might be pity where anger and disdain now dwell.
I would be a sure mark
for amorous arrows, full of sweet, bitter suffering
where now in freedom I weep and sigh.
Oh, peace has no place in the hearts of lovers!
