O come è gran martire
O come è gran martíre
a celar suo desire,
a celar suo desire
quando con pura fede
quando con pura fede
s'ama chi non se 'l crede.
s’ama chi non se’l crede.
O soave mio ardore,
O soave mio ardore,
o giusto mio desio,
o giusto mio desio,
s'ognun ama il suo core
s'ognun ama il suo core
e voi sete il cor mio,
e voi siete il cor mio,
allor non fia ch'io v'ami
allor non fia ch'io v'ami
quando sarà che viver più non brami.}}

{{Translation|English|
O what great martyrdom it is
to conceal your desire
when, with pure faith,
you love someone who does not believe you.
You, exquisite ardour of mine!
You, rightful desire of mine!
If each doth love his heart's passion
and you are my heart's indeed,
then may I only stop loving you
when I no longer long to live.}}

{{Translation|French|
Ô, qu'il est grand martyre
devoir cacher son désir
lorsqu'avec pure foi
on aime quelqu'un qui n'y croit pas.
Ô, vous, ma suave passion!
Ô, vous, mon juste désir!
Si chacun aime son cœur
et vous êtes mon cœur,
qu'il n'arrive alors que je vous aime
que lorsque je ne voudrai pas continuer à vivre.}}

O what great martyrdom it is
to conceal your desire
when, with pure faith,
you love someone who does not believe you.
You, exquisite ardour of mine!
You, rightful desire of mine!
If each doth love his heart's passion
and you are my heart's indeed,
then may I only stop loving you
when I no longer long to live.

Ô, qu'il est grand martyre
devoir cacher son désir
lorsqu'avec pure foi
on aime quelqu'un qui n'y croit pas.
Ô, vous, ma suave passion!
Ô, vous, mon juste désir!
Si chacun aime son cœur
et vous êtes mon cœur,
qu'il n'arrive alors que je vous aime
que lorsque je ne voudrai pas continuer à vivre.
