La rampogna
Language: Italian (Italiano)
O crudele, invano hai meco
Muto il labbro e chino il guardo,
Dell'antica fiamma ond'ardo
Crescer sento il foco ognor.
Anche il fior che mi donasti
Sul mio core s'appassia
Ma i profumi che nutria
Serbò tutti, e nudre ancor.

Rebuke
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
O cruel one, in vain do you exhibit
to me a silent lip, a bowed gaze;
I burn and feel the spark
of the ancient flame ever growing.
Even the flower you gave me
upon my heart has withered,
but its sustaining fragrance
has remained, and still nourishes.
