by Gabriello Chiabrera (1552 - 1638)

Dolci miei sospiri
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Dolci miei sospiri
dolci miei martiri
dolce mio desio
e voi dolci canti
e voi dolci pianti
rimanet'a Dio.

A la ria partita
vento e mare invita
o volubil hore
ma non più querele
duro Amor crudele
Ama il mio dolore.

Mora miei sospiri
hora miei martiri
e tu mio desio
e voi dolci canti
e voi dolci pianti
rimanet' a Dio.

E se mai soletta
suoi pensier diletta
per solingo loco
e voi dolci canti
e voi dolci pianti
dite del mio foco.

E se tutta adorna
unque mai soggiorna
festeggiando in gioco
dite miei sospiri
dite miei martiri
a lei del mio foco.
