Io tacerò – In van dunque
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  GER
Io tacerò, ma nel silenzio mio
La lagrime i sospiri
diranno i miei martiri.
Ma s’avverrà ch’io mora,
Griderà poi per me la morte ancora.

In van dunque, o crudele,
vuoi che'l mio duol e'l tuo rigor si cele,
poi che mia cruda sorte
dà la voce al silenzio ed a la morte.
