Dolcissima mia vita,
a che tardate la bramata aita?


Dolcissima mia vita,
Credete forse ond' ardo,
a che tardate la bramata aita?
sia per finir perche torcete il guardo?
 
Credete forse ond' ardo,
sia per finir perche torcete il guardo?
   
   
Ahi, non fia mai che brama
Ahi, non fia mai che brama
il mio desire o d'amarti o morire.
il mio desire o d'amarti o morire.
 
</poem>


Sweetest life,
{{Translation|English}}
why do you withhold the relief which I long for?
<poem>
Sweetest life,
why do you withhold the relief which I long for?


Perhaps you think that my burning desire will end,  
Perhaps you think that my burning desire will end,  
because you turn away whenever I see you?
because you turn away whenever I see you?


Alas, this cannot be,
Alas, this cannot be,
I must either love you or die.
I must either love you or die.
</poem>

Sweetest life,
why do you withhold the relief which I long for?

Perhaps you think that my burning desire will end,
because you turn away whenever I see you?

Alas, this cannot be,
I must either love you or die.
