Original text and translations

Italian text Vita mia, perchè mi fuggi E fuggendo il cor mi struggi? Tu fai torto a la tua beltà Meco usando tal crudeltà. Bene mio, perchè mi dai Tante pene e tanti guai? Tu fai… Ben conosco il tuo desire Mi vuoi far crudel morire Tu fai… Trammi ormai il cor dal petto Che la vita ho già in dispetto Tu fai…

English translation Oh my life, why do you escape from me And escaping you break my heart? You do wrong to your beauty If you use me so much cruelty. Oh my dear, why do you give me So much pain and so much trouble? You do wrong… I know well what you desire Cruelly you want me to die. You do wrong… Take my heart now from my bosom As I already hate life. You do wrong…
