Ahimè, dov' è'l bel viso,
In cui solea tener suo nid' Amore,
E dove ripost' era ogni mia speme?
Dov' è'l bel viso, Il bel viso
Ch'ornav 'il mondo di splendore,
Il mio caro thesoro, il sommo bene?
Oi mè, chi me'l ritien', chi me lo cela
O fortuna, o mort' ingorda
Cieca spietata e sorda,
Chi m'ha tolto'l mio cor, chi me l'asconde?
Dov' è'l ben mio, che più non mi risponde?

English.png English translation

Alas, where's the beautiful face,
Where Love used to have his nest,
And where all of my hopes were?
Where's the beautiful face, the beautiful face
That adorned the world with magnificence,
My dear treasure, the greatest good?
Alas, who's holding it from me, who's hiding it?
Oh luck, oh greedy death
Blind, pitiless and deaf,
Who took my heart from me, who's hiding it?
Where's my darling, that's not answering to me?
