Original text and translations
Italian text O come è gran martíre |
English translation O what great martyrdom it is |
French translation
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.
