Original text and translations

Italian text

Venite amanti insieme a pianger forte
Sopr’al mio corpo morto stes’ in terra
Et vedrete la mia crudel sorte
E quant’è triste el fin della mia guerra
Per tropp’amar, io son condott’ a morte
Tristo colui ch’amor crudele afferra
Quest’è del servir suo sola mercede
Et mortal cosa amar con troppa fede.
