Io piango by Luca Marenzio
 

Io piango et ella il volto con le sue man m’asciuga
(I weep and she wipes my face dry with her hand)

et poi sospira dolcemente et s’adira con parole
ch’i sassi romper ponno

(Then, she sweetly sighs, and angrily uses words so searing that they would break rocks)

et dopo questo si part’ella e’l sonno
(And after that she falls asleep)
