Deh respirar lasciatemi
Language: Italian (Italiano)

Deh respirar lasciatemi
qualche momento in pace;
capace di risolvere
la mia ragion non è.
Mi trovo in un istante
giudice, amico, amante
e delinquente e re.

Pray let me breathe
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Pray let me breathe
for one moment in peace,
my reason is not yet capable
of coming to a decision.
I find myself in an instant
at once judge, friend, lover,
criminal, and king.
