Io non hebbi |
I never had peace nor truce |
Ne riposto al mio |
nor rest for my sad and sorrowful heart |
Ma sempre in |
but I always lived in anguished tears |
E in duol amaro |
and in bitter pain since the day that |
A farmi guerra I |
my harsh worries started being at war with my |
Ne mi lice ch’io |
and I’m not allowed to hope to reveal to someone |
Che per maggior |
because for greatest torment my cruel fate desires |
che le lagrime |
that my tears be shed in solitude. |
Dolorosi martir, fieri tormenti, |
Grievous martyrdoms, fierce |
Duri ceppi, empi |
harsh fetters, evil snares, rough chains, |
Ov’io la notte i |
where I night and day, every hour, every moment |
Misero piango il |
miserable lament my lost well-being; |
Triste voci, |
sad voices, complaints, cries, and laments. |
Lagrime spesse e |
Tears shed and eternal afflictions |
Son’ il mio cibo |
are my nourishment and the treasured tranquillity |
Della mia vita, |
of my life, more bitter than any wormwood. |
