Se di farmi morire
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Se di farmi morire
con crudeltá pensate
certo che v'ingannate.
Che da la crudeltà nascono l'ire,
e da l'ire lo sdegno,
che scaccia Amor
dal suo superbo regno.

If you think to cause my death
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
If you think to cause my death
through your cruelty,
you are surely mistaken.
For from cruelty springs anger,
and from anger disdain,
which unseats Love
from his proud throne.
