Povero cor, tu palpiti
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Povero cor, tu palpiti,
ne a torto in questo di;
tu palpiti così,
povero core.
Si tratta o Dio, di perdere
per sempre il caro ben,
che di sua mano in sen
m'inpresse amore.

Poor heart, you flutter
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Poor heart, you flutter,
and not in error, on this day;
you flutter so much,
poor heart.
The reason is, oh God! you have lost
forever your dear one,
whose image was engraved upon you
by the hand of Cupid himself.
