Original text and translations

Italian text Se vi duol il mio duolo Voi sola, anima mia, Potete far che tutto gioia sia. Deh, gradite il mio ardore, Ch'arderà lieto nel suo foco il core, E quel duol che vi spiace In me sia gioia, in voi diletto e pace.

English translation If my sorrow saddens you, you, my beloved, are the only one who can turn my sorrows all to joy. Alas, accept my passion: My (?) heart will gladly burn in its fire, and that sorrow which displeases you will turn to joy in me, and in you to delight and peace of mind. Translation by Mick Swithinbank
