Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG FRE GER

Ardo per te, mio bene, ma l'ardore
Spira dolce aura al core.
Moro per te, mia vita, ma il morire
gioia divien, dolcissimo il languire.
Felice sorte, ancor ch'io arda e moia:
L'ardor divien dolce aura, el morir gioia.

Ich brenne nach dir, mein Liebster

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)

Ich brenne nach dir, mein Liebster, doch die Glut
lässt eine sanfte Brise ins Herze wehen.
Ich sterbe für dich, mein Leben, doch das Sterben
wird zur Lust, zu süßestem Schmachten.
Welch glückliches Los, immer wieder zu brennen und zu sterben:
die Glut wird zur sanften Brise, das Sterben wird zur Lust.
