Lagrime mie, à che vi trattenete? Perchè non isfogate il fier dolore
che mi toglie‘l respiro e opprime il core?
Lidia che tanto adòro, Perchè un guardo pietoso, ahi! mi donò,
il paterno rigor, l’imprigionò.
Trà due mura rinchiusa sta
la bella innocente
Dove giunger non può raggio di sole; E quel che più mi duole
Ed accresc’ al mio mal
Tormenti e pene,
È che per mia cagione provi male
il mio bene!
E voi, lumi dolenti, non piangete? Lagrime mie, à che vi trattenete? Lidia, ahimè, veggo mancarmi l’idol mio che tanto adoro,
Stà colei trà duri marmi, per cui spiro E pur non moro?
Se la morte m’è gradita,
Hor che son privo di speme Deh, toglietemi la vita
(ve ne prego) aspre mie pene.
Mà ben m’accorgo, che per tormentarmi maggiormente,
La sorte mi niega anco la morte.
Se dunque è vero, o Dio, Che sol del pianto mio, Il rio destino hà sete.
Lagrime mie à che vi trattenete
Perchè non isfogate il fier dolore
Che mi toglie il respiro e opprime il core
Tears of mine, why do you hold back,
why don’t you wash away the pain
which takes my breath and crushes my heart?
Lidia, whom I adore,
Because she gave me a pitying glance, Has been imprisoned
by her severe father.
The innocent girl
is locked up within walls
Which the sun’s rays cannot penetrate, And what pains me most,
And increases my pain
my torment,
Is that I am the cause
of my beloved’s suffering.
And you, my eyes, are not weeping! Tears of mine, why do you hold back? Alas, how I miss my Lidia, my idol,
I love so much!
She is shut up within marble walls and I sigh but I do not die!
If death might be granted to me now that I have no hope,
take my life,
(I beg of you) oh my sufferings!
But I am well aware that in order to torture me even more.
Fate even denies me death,
it is true then, oh God, that destiny desires only my tears.
Tears of mine, why do you hold back,
why don’t you wash away the pain
which takes my breath and crushes my heart?
