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.png English translation by Mick Swithinbank

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.
