Fra sdegno ed amore

Fra sdegno ed amore
tiranni del core
l'antica sua calma
quest'alma perdé.
Geloso del trono,
pietoso del figlio,
incerto ragiono,
non trovo consiglio
e intanto non sono
né padre né re.

Stuck between my heart's twin tyrants
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Stuck between my heart's twin tyrants,
wrath and love,
my soul has lost its
long-accustomed calm.
Jealous of my throne,
merciful to my son,
I argue on shaky ground,
I find no helpful advice,
and through all of this
I am neither a father nor a king.
