Original text and translations

Italian text O morte, a gl’altri fosca, a me serena Scaccia con il tuo stral, lo stral d’amore. Spenga, il tuo ghiaccio l’amoroso ardore Spezzi la falce tua la sua catena.

Czech translation O smrti, tolik temná pro ostatní, pro mne jsi jasná Odvrať svou mocí šípy milostné ať lásky plamen tvým ledem uhasne a kosou svou její řetězy rozetni.

English translation O death, dark for all others, bright for me, Drive away with your dart the dart of love. Let your icy cold extinguish the fierce heat of love, Let your scythe break its chains.
