Original text and translations

Italian text Sospirava il mio core Per uscir di dolore Un sospir che dicea: "L'anima spiro!" Quando la Donna mia più d'un sospiro Anch'ella sospirò che parea dire: "Non morir, non morire!"

English translation My heart sighed In order to escape from suffering, A sigh that said "My soul expires!" Then my Lady heaved more than one sigh, She too, sighs that seemed to say: "Do not die! Do not die!"

French translation Il soupirait, mon cœur Pour sortir de la douleur Un soupir qui disait : "je rends l'âme!"; Lorsque ma Dame aussi poussa plus d'un soupir Et ses soupirs aussi semblaient dire : "Ne meurs pas ! Ne meurs pas !"
