Deggio dunque, oh Dio, lasciarti
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Deggio dunque, oh Dio, lasciarti,
Dolce spene di quest'alma!
Ciel, pietà del mio dolor.
Come posso abbandonarti,
Se del cor tu sei la calma,
E sei vita del mio amor?

Must I then leave you
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Must I then leave you,
sweetest love of my heart?
Heaven have pity on my suffering.
How can I possibly abandon you
if you are my heart's calm,
and you are the life of my love?
