by Pietro Antonio Domenico Bonaventura Trapassi (1698 - 1782), as Pietro Metastasio

Son fra l'onde in mezzo al mare

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Son fra l'onde in mezzo al mare,
E al furor di doppio vento;
Or resisto, or mi sgomento
Fra la speme, e fra l'orror.

Per la fe, per la tua vita
Or pavento, or sono ardita,
E ritrovo egual martire
Nell' ardire e nel timor.
