Figlia di reo timor

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG

Figlia di reo timor,  
freddo velen
d'innamorato sen,
o gelosia crudel
esci dal cor,
lasciami in pace.

Gelo ed ardor,
smania ed affanno,
dubbiosa fé,
nascosto inganno
porti con te,
e alfin così
di vita e amor
spegni la face.

Daughter of base fear

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Daughter of base fear,
cold poison 
to a love-stricken heart,
cruel Jealousy,
get out of my heart
and leave me be.

Ice and fire,
agitation and anxiety,
doubtful faith,
hidden deceit:
you carry all these with you
so as to carry out your intent
of extinguishing, once and for all,
the flame of life and love.
