Original text and translations

Italian text Rallegrati mio cor, ch'ogni dolore, Che per donna hai patito in gioia è volto E al fin sei stato accolto Nel sen de la tua Diva Ch'or d'ogni dubbio è priva, C'havea del nostro amore Onde vivrem beati a tutte l'ore.

German text Freue dich, mein Herz, dass aller Schmerz, den du für deine Dame erlitten hast, in Wonne verwandelt wurde und du schließlich aufgenommen bist im Busen deiner Göttin, die nun jedes Zweifels enthoben ist, den sie bezüglich unserer Liebe hatte. Daher werden wir für immer selig leben. Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation

Rejoice, my heart, that every pain
you have suffered for the lady is turned to joy,
and at last you have been welcomed
into the bosom of your Goddess
who now is free from every doubt
that she had of our love,
Thus we will live blessed forever.

Translation by Allen Garvin
