Basta così; ti cedo
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Basta così; ti cedo.
Qual mi vorrai son io;
ma per pietà lo chiedo,
non dimandar perché.
Tanto sul voler mio
chi ti donò d’impero
non osa il mio pensiero
né men cercar fra sé.

Enough; I yield
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Enough; I yield.
I am what you want,
but do not ask me
why I seek pity
from the likes of you.
My thoughts do not dare
so much as to look upon themselves
as much as upon my will,
which granted you empire in the first place.
