Original text and translations

Italian text Ahi, tu piangi, mia vita! Tu piangi e piang'anch'io, Ch'egli è quel che tu vers'il pianto mio. Mirami in volto pur, se intender fai Muta doglia e vedrai per pietà, per amore, Morir l'anima mia nel tuo dolore.

English translation Ah, you cry, my life! You cry and I cry too – For the tears that you cry are my own tears. Look at my face then, if you now show A silent pain, and you will see, Both for pity and love, My soul dying in your pain. Translation: Flavio Ferri Benedetti
