lyrics

Cor mio, perchè pur piangi,
A che ti struggi,
Se alla tua pena inusitata e nuova
Rimedio non si trova?

Io piango che il mio pianto
Non è sì duro, sì pungente e forte
Che mentre io piango tanto
Non faccia ai miei martir pietosa
morte.
Poco sarìa la doglia
Se ad ogni suo desire
L’uom potesse morire
Ma ve’l sostiene in vita e in questa spoglia
Acciò più lungo sia nostro languire.

My heart, why do you weep,
why do you suffer,
when there is no remedy
for your unaccustomed and novel pain?

I weep because my anguish
is not so hard, piercing, and violent
that while I weep so,
death may not be moved to pity
by my torments.
There would be little pain
if at his merest wish
a man could die.
But one is kept alive and breathing
so that our suffering may last longer.
