Quell’amplesso e quel perdono
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Quell’amplesso e quel perdono,
quello sguardo e quel sospiro
fa più giusto il mio martiro,
più colpevole mi fa.
Qual mi fosti e qual ti sono
chiaro intende il core afflitto,
che misura il suo delitto
dall’istessa tua pietà.

That embrace, that pardon
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
That embrace, that pardon,
that glance, and that sigh:
they make my suffering more justified,
and my guilt that more acute.
How you were to me, how I am to you,
my afflicted heart understands clearly.
It measures its own sin
in terms of its own self-pity.
