Che se tu se’ il cor mio,
come se’ pur malgrado
del ciel e de la terra,
qualor piangi e sospiri,
quelle lagrime tue son il mio sangue,
quei sospir il mio spirto
e quelle pen’e quel dolor che senti
son miei, non tuoi tormenti.

Vždyť ty jsi má nejdražší
A to vše děje se navzdory
Zemi i nebesům.
Když pláčeš a vzdycháš,
Tyhle tvé slzy tvé jsou krev má
A tvoje vzdechy má duše ztracená
a ta trápení a bolest, kterou zakoušíš,
To vše jsou má, ne tvá soužení.
