Available translation(s): ENG FRE GER
Dolcissima mia vita,
a che tardate la bramata aita?
Credete forse che'l bel foco ond' ardo,
sia per finir perche torcete il guardo?
Ahi, non fia mai che brama
il mio desire o d'amarti o morire.

Mein süßestes Leben
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Mein süßestes Leben,
warum hältst du die ersehnte Hilfe zurück?
Glaubst du vielleicht, dass die Glut meiner Leidenschaft
erlischt, wenn du den Blick abwendest?
Ach, ich werde nie etwas anderes begehren,
als dich zu lieben oder zu sterben.
