Our translations:  CAT CHI ENG
Or che il ciel e la terra e il vento tace,
E le fere e gli augelli il sonno affrena,
Notte il carro stellato in giro mena
E nel suo letto il mar senz'onda giace;

Vegghio, penso, ardo, piango; e chi mi sface
Sempre è m'innanzi per mia dolce pena:
Guerra è il mio stato, d'ira et di duolo piena;
E sol di lei pensando ho qualche pace.

Language: Chinese (中文)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
现在天地和风都已沉静，
野兽和飞鸟也睡意朦胧，
夜晚星光之车转个不停
大海躺在床上波涛不兴;

望、思、虑、泣; 魂牵梦绕丽人
总是带着甜蜜悲伤来访：
宛如战争充满愤怒悲伤；
想她时和平才占据我心。
