Intenerite voi, lagrime mie

Intenerite voi, lagrime mie, 
Intenerite voi quel duro core
Che 'n van percoss'Amore. 
Versat'a mille a mille, 
Fate di piant' un mar, dolenti stille. 
O che 'l mio vago scoglio
D'alterezz'e d'orgoglio 
Ripercosso da voi men duro sia,
O se n'esca con voi l'anima mia.

Erweicht, meine Tränen

Erweicht, meine Tränen,
erweicht dieses harte Herz,
das die Liebe vergebens bestürmt.
Ergießt euch tausendfach
und schafft ein Tränenmeer bitterer Tropfen.
Entweder erweicht ihr den verzaubernden Fels
aus Stolz und Hochmut
durch eure sanfte Flut,
oder lasst meine Seele mit euch strömen.
