Ahi, già mi discoloro

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE GER

Ahi, già mi discoloro, 
Oimè vien meno
La luce a gli occhi miei,
La voce, al seno!
O che morte gradita
Se almen potessi dir:
"Moro, mia vita!“

Ah, déjà à moi qui perd mes couleurs

Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)

Ah, déjà à moi qui perd mes couleurs
Parviennent plus faiblement
La lumière dans mes yeux,
La voix dans mon cœur !
Oh, que la mort soit la bienvenue
Si au moins je pouvais dire :
« Je meurs, ma vie ! »
