Original text and translations

Italian text

Ferrimi Amor il fianco
da più gentil faretra
che nel regno d'Amor si vide unquanco,
tanto ch'io dissi: «tu sola mi piaci»
e poi, mi disse: «taci»,
che qui mercé s'impetra
senza di fuor dolersi,
con modi da volgar uso diversi.

English translation

Love pierced my side,
by the gentlest arrow
that ever was seen in the kingdom of Love,
so much that I said: you alone please me
and then, you told me: be silent ,
for here mercy is requested
without painful regret,
by custom other than common.

Translation by Allen Garvin
