Tu vivi, e punito

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Available translation(s): ENG

Tu vivi, e punito  
rimanga l'eccesso
d'amore tradito, d'offesa onestà.

Che il volger crudele,
il ferro in sé stesso,
per donna infedele, troppa viltà.

Live, so that this egregious outrage

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Live, so that this egregious outrage
of betrayed love and wounded honor
may be suitably punished.

Turning this cruel sword upon yourself
is far too base an action to take
for the sake of an unfaithful woman.
