O bella più
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
O bella più che le stelle Diana,
chi parinansi de la mia patrona,
mi regina, dolce mi amore;
pietà, cuor mio, pietà, non più dolore.
Bene mio caro, cuore mio bella,
tu sei la mala morte mia,
la freccia chi mi pass'il cuore.

Oh fairer than the stars
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Oh fairer than the stars of Diana
which shine before my mistress,
my queen, my sweet love;
mercy, my heart, cause no more sorrow.
My dear beloved, my fair heart,
you are the fatal cause of my death,
the arrow which pierces my heart.
