Sgombra, o gentil
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Sgombra, o gentil, dall'ansia
Mente i terresti ardori;
Leva all'Eterno un candido
Pensier d'offerta, e muori:
Fuor della vita è il termine
Del lungo tuo martir.

O gentle one, remove from your mind
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
O gentle one, remove from your mind
the earthly passions brought about by anxiety;
Raise unto the Eternal an earnest
offering in your thoughts, and die at peace,
for far from this life is where
your long sufferings will at last have an end.
