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.
