Se l'occhio del sole regola la mia vista
Amore siede sultano nell'anima mia.
Il suo esercito alzò le tende nel mio cuore -
passione e desiderio, dolore e afflizione.
Quando il suo campo prese possesso di me
urlai come la fiamma del desiderio
incendiò i miei visceri.
Amore rubò il mio sonno, mi stravolse
Amore ingiusto mi uccide e sono inerme
Amore mi carica di pesi che non sopporto
così gli imploro anima e non corpo.
While the sun's eye rules my
sight,
love sits as sultan in my soul.
His army has made camp in my heart --
passion and yearning, affliction and grief.
When his camp took possession of me
I cried out as the flame of desire
burned in my entrails.
Love stole my sleep, love has bewildered me,
love kills me unjustly, and I am helpless,
love has burdened me with more than I can bear
so that I bequeath him a soul and no body.
love sits as sultan in my soul.
His army has made camp in my heart --
passion and yearning, affliction and grief.
When his camp took possession of me
I cried out as the flame of desire

Love stole my sleep, love has bewildered me,

love has burdened me with more than I can bear
so that I bequeath him a soul and no body.
