Se ardire, e speranza
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Se ardire e speranza
Dal ciel non mi viene,
Mi manca constanza
Per tanto dolor.
La dolce compagna
Verdersi rapire,
Udir che si lagna,
Condotta a morire,
Son smanie, son pene
Che opprimono un cor.

If daring and hope
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
If daring and hope
do not come down to me from Heaven,
I lack the will to bear up
against this pain.
My heart is so oppressed
by the woe of seeing
my sweet consort taken away,
led off to her death,
of hearing her suffering.
