Original text and translations

Italian text  O Dio, O Dio, che pena,  O Dio, che pena grand'  O che martire,  me dano sciochi,  Quando le girate  Aime, aime,  che crudeltade a far morir,  ogn' un che risguardate

English translation O God, O God, what a pain,  O God, what a great pain,  Or what suffering,  you make a fool of me  as every one turn and look at you.  Alas, alas,  What a cruelty that makes me die,  as everyone you look at you.
