Sono in mar; non veggo sponde
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Sono in mar; non veggo sponde;
mi confonde il mio periglio.
Ho bisogno di consiglio,
di soccorso, di pietà.
Improvvisa è la tempesta
né mi resta aita alcuna,
se al furor della fortuna
m’abbandona l’amistà.

I am in the midst of the ocean
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
I am in the midst of the ocean,
and I see no shore.
My danger confounds me.
I am deprived of counsel,
aid, and mercy.
This sudden storm
leaves me no help at all,
if friendship abandons me
to the storms Fortune sends.
