Anima del cor mio, poiché da me, misera me, tu parti, s'ami conforto alcuno a miei martiri, non isdegnar ch'almen ti segua anch'io, solo co' miei sospiri e sol per rimembrarti, ch'in tante pene e in così fiero scempio: Vivrò d'amor di vera fede esempio. |
Soul of my heart, since from me, oh poor me, you depart, if you take some comfort in my torments, do not disdain that at least I also follow you, alone with my sighs and only in remembrance of you, that in so much pain and in such cruel torment: I will live as an example of love and true faith. |
