Ho perduto il mio tesoro
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Ho perduto il mio tesoro,
Ogni speme ho già smarrita:
Odio il giorno, odio la vita,
Più non splende il Sol per me.
M'ha rapito il fato avaro
[Quanto]1 al mondo a me fu caro:
Mi lasciò colei che adoro,
Altro ben per me non v'è.

I have lost my treasure
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
I have lost my treasure,
I have lost all hope:
I hate the day, I hate life,
for me, the Sun no longer shines.
Envious fate stole from me
All that was as dear to me as the world:
Fate left me the one I adore,
no one else can possibly compare.
