Ingannata una sol volta
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Ingannata una sol volta
esser posso, ma non più.
Quando crede, il cor ascolta,
ma scoperta poi la frode,
fassi sordo, e più non ode
chi mendace un giorno fu.

I can be fooled only once
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
I can be fooled only once,
but no more than that!
The heart is inclined to listen
when it is trusting,
but when fraud is at last discovered,
it becomes deaf and no longer heeds
he who one day cried wolf.
