Combattono quest'alma
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Combattono quest'alma
la gloria, la pietà,
l'amor, la fedeltà.
Lo sposo, il figlio.
Lo sposo tradirò?
Il figlio ucciderò?
Ah che l'ingiusta palma
non so di chi sarà,
cieli consiglio!

Within this soul
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Within this soul,
a battle rages
betwixt glory and pity,
love and fidelity,
my husband and my son.
Shall I betray my husband?
Will I slay my child?
I know not to whom
this unjust honor will belong;
assist me, heavens!
