Occhi miei, che vedeste
Il bell'idolo vostro in preda altrui
Perché non vi chiudeste?
E tu anima mia
Perch'al gran duolo
Non te'n fuggisti à volo?
Ahi che posso ben dire
Ch'il soverchio dolor non fa morire.

United Kingdom

My eyes, when you saw
your beautiful idol in the grip of others
Why did you not close yourselves?
And you, my soul,
why did you not fly
from the great grief?
Ah, what can I say –
not even the immense pain makes me die.[5]

Occhi miei che vedeste

e tu anima mia
perch'al grā duolo
non te'n fuggisti à volo

ch'il soverchio dolor non fà morire.
