Itene, o miei sospiri
Precipitate il volo a lei
Che m’è cagion d’aspri martiri.
Ditele per pietà
Del mio gran duolo
Ch’or mai ella mi sia
Come bella, ancor pia
Che l’amaro mio pianto
Cangerò lieto in amoroso canto.

English.png English translation

My sighs, may you wing your way to her
who is causing me bitter torment - Itene.
For pity's sake, tell her of my great suffering.
If she will be as merciful
as she is beautiful,
I shall cease my bitter lament
and sing a love song.

Translation by Mick Swithinbank
