[ENGLISH TRANSLATION]
It is jealousy,
the great strength of your Love 
that makes you anxious,
that troubles you to the core,
But, this is also my pain,
but it also causes me pain. I feel its tyranny in my heart too.
For a lovely face which has been taken 
from you, you sadly sigh; 
We are both angry,
and all of us love without hope.

[ORIGINAL ITALIAN]
È gelosia,
forza è d'amore,
ch'il sen t'affanna,
che senti al core,
ma quest'è ancora la pena mia,
ma pur tiranna la provo in sen.
Per un bel volto,
che ne vien tolto,
tu mesto gemi;
noi ci sdegnamo
e tutti amiamo
senza mercé.
