Anima del cor mio,
Poi che da me misera me tu parti,
S'ami conforto alcuno à miei martiri,
Non isdegnar ch'almen ti segua anch' io,
Solo co miei sospiri,
E sol per rimembrarti,
Ch'in tante pene e in cosi fiero scempio,
Vivrò d'amor di vera fede esempio.

English.png English translation

Soul of my heart,
since from me, oh poor me, you depart,
if you take some comfort in my torments,
do not disdain that at least I also follow you,
alone with my sighs
and only in remembrance of you,
that in so much pain and in such cruel torment:
I will live as an example of love and true faith.

Translation by Allen Garvin
