Original text and translations

Italian text Quando da voi madonna son lontano   Mille cose per dirui ho nel pensiero   Ma poi d'appresso quel disegno e vano   Che nullo senso me riman intiero   Et per dolcezza del miravi'insano   A pena scorg' il mio primo sentiero.   Hor ben potete voi ne gliocchi'istessi   Tutti desir miei legger espressi.

English translation When I am far from you Lady  I can bring into my mind a thousand things to say to you.  But afterwards (when I meet you) those designs are as in vain  No meaning or sense remains to me  as the sweetness of the sight causes insanity.  With difficulty, I discern my former path.  But truly, you can see in my eyes  all my desires clearly expressed.
