TRANSLATIONS
Lasso vita mia, mi fa morire, Crudel amor mio cor consume, Da mille ferite, che mi fa morir. Ahi me, deh, che non mi fa morire. Crudel amor mi fa sofrir mille martire.
O my unhappy Life, you are making me die. Cruel love consumes my heart, Inflicts a thousand wounds, which kill me. Woe, alas, do not let me die, Cruel Love makes me suffer a thousand martyrdoms.
Canzonetta spirituale sopra la nanna Hor ch’e tempo di dormire, dormi mi figlio e non vagire, perche tempo ancor verrà, che vagir bisognerà. Deh ben mio, deh cor mio fa, fa la ninna ninna na.
Now it is time to sleep, sleep my child and do not cry, For the time will come for weeping, by and by. Oh my love, o my dear, sing lulla-lullaby.
Chiudi quei lumi divini, come fan gl’altri bambini, perché tosto oscuro velo priverà di lume il chielo. Deh ben mio, deh cor mio fa, fa la ninna ninna na.
Close those heavenly eyes, as other children do, For soon a dark veil will cover the sky. Oh my love, o my dear, sing lulla-lullaby.
O ver prendi questo latte dalle mie mammelle intatte, perche ministro crudele ti prepara aceto e fiele, Deh ben mio, deh cor mio fa, fa la ninna ninna na.
Suck this milk at my immaculate breast, For a cruel govrner will serve you bitterness and gall. Oh my love, o my dear, sing lulla-lullaby.
Amor mio, sia questo petto hor per te morbido letto, pria che rendi ad alta voce l’alma al Padre su la croce. Deh ben mio, deh cor mio fa, fa la ninna ninna na.
My love, lay your head softly now upon my breast, Before you cry out and surrender your sould to the Father on the cross! Oh my love, o my dear, sing lulla-lullaby.
Posa hor queste membra belle vezzosette e tenerelle, perche poi feri e catene gli daran acerbe pene. Deh ben mio, deh cor mio fa, fa la ninna ninna na.
Now rest these fine limbs, so precious and tender, For they will be scourged by cruel irons and chains! Oh my love, o my dear, sing lulla-lullaby.
Queste mani e questi piedi ch’or con gusto e gaudio vedi, Ahime, com’in varii modi passeran acuti chiodi
These hands and these feet, all beauty and joy, Alas, will one day be pierced by sharp nails.
Questa faccia graziosa rubiconda, hor più che rosa Sputi e schiaffi sporcheranno con tormento e grand’afanno
This pretty face, more ruddy than a rose, Will be spat upon and bruised, suffering and tormented.
Ah con quanto tuo dolore, sola speme del mio core, questo capo e questi crini passeran acuti spini
Oh, with what sorrow, only hope of my heart, Will this head and this hair by sharp thorns be torn!
Ah ch’in questo divin petto, amor mio dolce diletto, vi farà piaga mortale, empia lancia e di sleale. Dormi dunque, figliol mio, dormi pur, redentor mio, perchè poi con lieto viso ci vedrem in Paradiso.
Alas, one day this breast divine, my love, my own Sweet dear, will be rent by the deadly wounds of a cruel and treacherous lance. So sleep, my son, sleep my saviour, for, with joyful face, Our tryst we’ll keep, in paradise.
Hor che dorme la mia vita, del mio cor gioia compita, taccia ognun con puro zelo, taccian sin la terra e’l cielo.
Now you sleep, my darling, my heart with joy you thrill, let all keep watch in silence, let earth and Heaven be still.
E fra tanto, io che farò? Il mio ben contemplerò, ne starò col capo chino fin che dorme il mio bambino.
And meanwhile, what shall I do? My love I'll watch, my head bowed low, As long as my baby sleeps.
