Che mai risponderti
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Che mai risponderti,
che dir potrei?
Vorrei difendermi,
fuggir vorrei;
né so qual fulmine
mi fa tremar.
Divenni stupida
nel colpo atroce.
Non ho più lagrime;
non ho più voce;
non posso piangere;
non so parlar.

How ever shall I respond
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
How ever shall I respond,
what could I say to you?
I would defend myself,
I would rather flee,
but some unknown lightning bolt
causes me to tremble.
This atrocious blow
has robbed me of my senses.
I have no more tears,
no more voice,
I can neither weep
nor speak.
