Tu se' morta, mia vita, ed io respiro? Tu se da me partita Per mai più non tornare, ed io rimango? No, che se i versi alcuna cosa ponno, N'andrò sicuro a'più, profundi abissi E, intenerito il cor del re de l'ombre, Meco trarrotti a reverder le stelle; O, se ciò negherammi empio destino, Rimmarrò teco in compagnia di morte. Addio terra, addio cielo e sole, addio! You are dead, my life, but I still breathe? You have left me Never to return yet I remain? No, if my verses possess any power, I shall go undaunted into the deep abyss And having softened the heart of the king of Hades, Will transport you to again see the stars. O, if cruel destiny works against me, I will remain with you in the company of death. Farewell earth, farewell heaven & sun, farewell!
