Орландо ди Лассо - Nessun visse giamai piu di me lieto - текст песни (слова), перевод

No one has ever led a happier life than I once did:
 no one's days and nights are more sorrowful than mine.
 As the pain is redoubled, so doubled is the dagger
 that draws from my heart such tearful verse.
 I used to live inspired by hope; yet now my life is filled with lamenting:
 no remedy for death there is but death itself.
 Translation by Mick Swithinbank
