Original text and translations

Italian text O quante volte in van cor mio ti chiamo Vaga di riveder gli amati lumi, Cagion ch’io mi consumi Sì dolcemente che morir ne bramo. O dolc’esca, o dolce amo, O dolce stral d’amore Ch’in ogni parte mi piagasti il core.

English translation O how many times in vain, my heart, I call you, eager to see again your beloved eyes, the cause by which I am consumed so sweetly that I yearn to die of it. O sweet lure, o sweet hook, O sweet arrow of love that wounded my heart utterly. Translation by Allen Garvin
