Stracciami pur il core
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Stracciami pur il core;
ragion è ben, ingrato,
che se t'ho troppo amato
porti la pena del commess'errore.
Ma perché stracci fai de la mia fede?
Che colp'ha l'innocente?
Se la mia fiamma ardente
non merita mercede,
ah, non la merta il mio fedel servire?
Ma straccia pur, crudele:
non può morir d'amor alma fedele.
Sorgerà nel morir quasi fenice
la fede mia più bell'e più felice.

Déchire donc mon cœur
Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)
Déchire donc mon cœur ;
Il y de bonnes raisons, ingrat,
Car je t'ai trop aimé,
Tu portes le poids de la faute que j'ai commise.
Mais pourquoi détruire ma foi ?
Quelle faute a commise l'innocent ?
Si ma flamme ardente
Ne mérite pas de pitié,
Ah, mon service fidèle ne la mérite pas ?
Mais déchire-le donc, cruel :
Une âme fidèle ne peut mourir d'amour.
Dans la mort comme le phénix s'élèvera
Ma foi plus belle et plus joyeuse.
