Io morirò d'Amore,
S'al mio scampo non vien sdegno e furore,
Poichè madonna à la mia vera fede
Solo del finto Amor vuol dar mercede.
E perchè del mio foco
Prende solazzo e gioco,
Se qualche giel non tempra tant'ardore,
Io morirò d'Amore.

I will die of love
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
I will die of love,
if disdain and fury do not rescue me.
For my lady wishes to reward my faithfulness
only with feigned love.
And since she makes fun
of my ardor,
if ice will not temper such passion,
I will die of love.
