Languisce al fin chi da la vita parte

Languisce al fin chi da la vita parte
E di morte il dolore
L'affligge sì che in crude pene more.
Ahi, che quello son io,
Dolcissimo cor mio, che da voi parto 
e per mia crudel sorte
La vita lascio e me ne vado a morte.

Wer aus dem Leben geht

Wer aus dem Leben geht, sehnt sich nach seinem Ende,
und des Todes Pein
bedrängt ihn dann so sehr, dass er in Qualen stirbt.
Ach, ich bin’s selbst, 
geliebtes Herz, der von Euch geht,
und um meines schlimmen Loses willen
lass’ ich das Leben und gehe in den Tod.
