Infirmata, Vulnerata
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  FRE
Infirmata, vulnerata
puro deficit amore
et liquescens gravi ardore
languet anima beata. 

O care, o dulcis amor,
quomodo mutatus es mihi in crudelem,
quem numquam agnovisti infidelem? 

Vulnera percute, transfige cor. 
Tormenta pati non timeo. 

Cur, quaeso, crudelis
es factus gravis? 
Sum tibi fidelis,
sis mihi suavis. 

Vicisti, amor, et cor meum cessit amori. 

Semper gratus, desiderabilis,
semper eris in me. 
Veni, o care, totus amabilis,
in aeternum diligam te.
