Original text and translations

Italian text Ite ardenti sospiri, nati del duol che mi consuma e strugge, seguite che mi strugge e prend'in gioco i miei gravi martiri: combattete quel core fin che rompa il suo ghiaccio il vostro adore.

English translation Go, burning sighs, born of the grief that consumes and torments me, follow what which tortures me and mocks my great sufferings: fight that heart until your adoration breaks its ice. Translation by Allen Garvin
