Original text and translations

Italian text

Gite rime dolenti, gite sospiri,
gite lagrime mie piangendo al loco
dove mia libertà lasciar conviene.
Gite ove fu principio a mei martiri,
dove prima s'accese il dolce fuoco
quando il suave colpo al cor sostenni,
dove con bel parlar, con dolci cenni
io fui preso e legato,
gite al loco beato
dove gia fui e spero esser contento.
