Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Fa' di me ciò che ti piace,
e contenta anch'io sarò.
Questo core, e questa vita,
perché è tua, sol m'è gradita;
a un tuo cenno ella soggiace:
quando vuoi, morir saprò.

Do with me whatsoever you please
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Do with me whatsoever you please,
and I shall be content alongside you.
My heart and my life
is precious only because they are yours.
A single command
will cause their surrender,
and I shall gladly die
when you wish it.
