Italian text
Alma ben nata se mi duol & dolse
La subita partit’a voi nol dico,
Che ben sapete cio ch’amor mi tolse,
& per che so ch’in vano m’affatico
In chieder gratia al mio aversario antico:
Vi prego anima bella
Poi che mia guida sete e la mia stella
Che ritornat’homai
Piu bella no, ma piu pietosa assai.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
Noble soul, your sudden leaving,
Though it pain me, think not I would say so.
What I lost through love, which caused my grieving
– In vain for mercy I beseech my ancient foe –
This and how it chanced, too well you know.
Gentle soul, please listen to my plea:
Since you are my pole, my guiding star,
As I implore you, now return to me –
More lovely? No – more merciful by far.
