Language: Italian (Italiano)

La giustizia ha già sull'arco
pronto strale alla vendetta
per punire un traditor.
Quanto è tarda la saetta
tanto più crudele aspetta
la sua pena un empio cor.

Justice now has in her bow
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Justice now has in her bow
a swift, vengeful dart
ready to punish the traitor.
When the lightning-fast arrow is delayed,
a wicked heart can expect
its punishment to be all the harsher.
