  Ancor che col partire
  io mi senta morire,
  partir vorrei ogn'hor, ogni momento:
  tant'e il piacer ch'io sento
  de la vita ch'acquisto nel ritorno:
  et cosi mill'e mille volt'il giorno
  partir da voi vorrei:
  tanto son dolci gli ritorni miei.
  
  Although when I leave you
  it is as if I were dying,
  I would wish to leave you every hour, every moment,
  I am so very happy
  when life comes back to me when I return:
  and so I wish I could leave you
  many thousand times a day
  because my heart leaps with joy when I return.
