Se fedele mi brama il regnante
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Se fedele mi brama il regnante,
non offenda quest’anima amante
nella parte più viva del cor.
Non si lagni se in tanta sventura
un vassallo non serba misura,
se il rispetto diventa furor.

If my sovereign liege
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
If my sovereign liege
desires me to keep faith with him,
he must not offend my loving soul,
the most vivid portion of my heart.
Let him not complain
if in such a case,
a vassal does not maintain his decorum,
and respect turns to wrath.
