In te spero, o sposo amato

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG FRE

In te spero, o sposo amato,
Fido a te la sorte mia.
E per te, qualunque sia,
Sempre cara a me sarà.

Pur che a me nel morir mio
Il piacer non sia negato
Di vantar che tua son io,
Il morir mi piacerà.

En toi j'espère, ô époux

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

En toi j'espère, ô époux,
Je te confie mon sort.
Et en ce qui te concerne, quoi qu'il arrive,
Tu seras toujours chère à moi.

Quant à moi dans ma mort
Je ne nie pas le plaisir
De me vanter que je suis tienne,
Mourir me sera agréable.
