Ombra cara, ombra adorata

Ombra cara, ombra adorata
Se mi ascolti e se qui sei,
Tu saprai da pensier miei,
Quanto sia mia fedeltà.

Se non resta vendicata
La tua morte e il mio dolore,
col svenar quel traditore;
Pace il cor mai non avrà.

Chère ombre, ombre adorée

Chère ombre, ombre adorée,
Si tu m'écoutes et si tu es ici,
Tu connaîtras de mes pensées
Comment est ma fidélité.

Si non vengée demeure
Ta mort et ma douleur
Par le sang de ce traître,
Mon cœur n'aura jamais la paix.
