Ahi, disperata vita,
Che fuggendo il mio bene,
Miseramente cade in mille pene!
Deh, torna alla tua luce alma e gradita
Che ti vuol dar aita!

English.png English translation

Ah, desperate life,
Which, whilst fleeing from my loved one,
fallst miserably into a thousand torments.
Oh, turn to your sweet and gracious light,
which wants to give you comfort.
