Felicissimo sonno
che ne le luci di madonna vivi
e noi di luce privi,
deh, con un sogno messaggier le mostra
l'afflitta anima nostra;
fa’ che in partir da lei pietà vi resti
e pietosa si desti.

English.png English translation

Most happy sleep,
dwelling in the eyes of my lady
and so depriving us of light,
I beg you, take her a message in a dream
to show her the affliction of my1 soul;
when you leave her, let mercy remain in her
so that she awakes inclined to pity.
Translation by Mick Swithinbank

1 Literally 'our', but probably only used for the sake of the rhyme.
