Fra cento affanni e cento
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: ENG FRE
Fra cento affanni e cento
Palpito, tremo e sento
Che freddo dalle vene
Fugge il mio sangue al cor.
Prevedo del mio bene
II barbaro martiro,
E la virtù sospiro,
Che perde il genitor.

Between hundreds and still more hundreds...
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Between hundreds and still more hundreds of torments,
I shudder, tremble, and feel
My icy blood flowing through
and chilling my veins.
I can already see the anguish
that my beloved must endure,
And I sigh for virtue,
That might lose me a father.
