Available translation(s): ENG
Perduta ho la speranza in voi mirare,
e di speranza sola nutrivo il core!
Ahimè! Ah! come farò, se per amare,
la fede ho già smarrita,
la fede nell'amore?
Perduta ho la speranza in voi mirare,
e di speranza sola nutrivo il core!

I have lost hope
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
I have lost hope in looking at you,
And by hope alone did I nourish my heart!
Ah me! Ah me! Oh, what shall I do if through loving
I have really lost faith,
faith in love?
I have lost hope in looking at you,
And by hope alone did I nourish my heart!
