Barbaro non comprendo
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Barbaro non comprendo
se sei feroce o stolto.
Se ti vedessi in volto
avresti orror di te.
Orsa nel sen piagata,
serpe nel suol calcata,
leon che aprì gli artigli,
tigre che perda i figli
fiera così non è.

Barbarian! I know not
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Barbarian! I know not
whether you be savage or foolish.
If you looked at your face,
you would regard yourself with horror.
A mother bear wounded in the chest,
a snake trampled underfoot,
a lion who has opened his claws,
a tiger who loses its cubs,
None are as cruel as are you.
