Lorenzo Da Ponte (1749 - 1838)
Non mi dir, bell'idol mio
Language: Italian (Italiano)
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.
