Original text and translations

Italian text S'io non miro, non moro, non mirando, non vivo; pur morto io son né son di vita privo. O miracol d'amore, ahi, strana sorte, che'l viver non fia vita, e'l morir morte.

English translation If I look not, I die not; when I do not look, I am not alive; yet dead I am, though my life has not been taken from me. Oh miracle of love; alas, strange fate, that living should not result in life, nor dying in death. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
