Del destin non dee lagnarsi
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Del destin non dee lagnarsi
chi ha nel petto un'alma forte,
e l'aspetto della morte
non paventa un cuor di re.
Il morir solo m'avanza,
e il mio caro amato pegno
fido prence a te consegno,
tu poi l'alma ancor per me.

One should not complain about destiny
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
One should complain about destiny
if one has a strong soul in one's heart,
and the fire of death
does not frighten a royal heart.
It is only death that advances,
so I consign unto you, o Prince,
my dearest and most well-loved pledge,
so you might let my soul live through you.
