Original text and translations

Italian text O miracol d’Amore! Io bramo mirar voi, dolce mia vita, e’l mirar cresce al cor nuova ferita: per cui convien ch’io moia. Ma diviene il morir mercede e gioia, perché vive e non more quest’alma, che partendo dal suo core, in voi mio caro core trasformata, gode vita beata. O mia felice sorte, se mille volte il dì provassi morte!

English translation Love's miracle! I long to see you, my dear life, and the sight slices my heart open once more— my death-blow. But then, death becomes a joy… my soul lives, it doesn’t die! It leaves its body, utterly changed, living in blessedness in you. What a piece of luck, if every day I could have a thousand deaths! Translation by Nicholas Jones Category:Sheet music]]
