Non mi dir, bell'idol mio
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Non mi dir, bell'idol mio,    
che son io crudel con te:
tu ben sai quant'io t'amai,
tu conosci la mia fé.
Calma, calma il tuo tormento,
se di duol non vuoi ch'io mora:

Forse un giorno il cielo ancora
sentirà pietà di me.

My love, do not tell me
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano) 
My love, do not tell me
I am cruel to you:
you know how much
and how faithfully I love you.
Calm your torment if you
do not wish me to die of grief.
Perhaps one day Heaven, too,
will be pleased to have pity upon me.
