Ancor che per amarti io mi consumi
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  FRE GER
Ancor che per amarti io mi consumi
In ogni parte e non a me rimiri
Tu, bramata cagion di miei martiri.
Deh, volgi homai ver me gli amati lumi
Poi che vil fango ancor rimirar suole
Senza oscurar i suoi bei raggi, il Sole.

Même si de t'aimer je me consume
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Même si de t'aimer je me consume
Dans chaque partie, tu ne me remarques pas,
Toi, cause désirée de mon martyre,
Ah, si tu tournais vers moi tes yeux aimés,
Car sur un sol de vile boue, il peut briller
Sans obscurcir ses beaux rayons, le soleil.
