Sulle tue luci stesse
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Sulle tue luci stesse
l'infido svenerò;
e al piè ti getterò
quel teschio esangue...
Non troverà pietà;
e la sua colpa enorme
appena laverà
tutto il suo sangue.

Under your very eyes
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Under your very eyes,
I shall slay that traitor!
At your feet I shall cast
that bloodless skull.
He will find no pity,
for his enormous guilt
can barely be washed away
by all of his blood.
