Original text and translations

Italian.png Italian text

Gelo ha madonna il seno e fiamma il volto,
io son ghiaccio di fore
e’l foco hò dentro accolto.
Questo avien perche amore
ne la sua fronte alberga e nel mio petto,
ne mai cangia ricetto,
sì ch’io l’abbia negl’occhi, ella nel core.

German.png German translation

Kälte hat die Herrin im Busen
und Feuer im Antlitz.
Ich aber bin Eis nach außen
und im Innern berge ich Feuer;
das geschieht, weil Amor im Antlitz ihr wohnt
und mir in der Brust,
und nie wechselt die Wohnung,
so dass ich in den Augen ihn hätte und sie im Herzen.
