Original text and translations

Italian text Ochii mei frenati el pianto    Fin ponete a tanta guerra    Che piu strali amor non serra    Nel mio pecto afflicto tanto Ochii mei frenati el pianto    Fin ponete a tanta guerra Se fui preso hor son disciolto    Rotta e l'aspra mia cathena    Rotta il l'accio ovio fu involto    Fine e posto alla mia pena    Tu mia lingua el duol affrena    E converti el grido in canto

English translation My eyes, restrain your weeping,    End this great war.    Love cannot shoot any more arrows    Into my breast, so afflicted. My eyes, restrain your tears    End this great war. I was captured, now I am freed    My harsh chain is broken.    The idle bond has been broken.    My pain has ended.    You, my tongue, restrain your lamenting,    change your wailing into song.
