Caro padre, a me non dei
Rammentar che padre sei:
io lo so, ma in questi accenti
non ritrovo il genitore.
Non son io che ti consiglia,
è il rispetto d’un regnante,
è l’affetto d’una figlia,
è il rimorso del tuo cor.

Dear father, you don't need to remind me
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Dear father, you don't need to remind me;
I know that you are my father.
But your words cause me
to no longer recognize you.
I am not the one who so advises you:
fealty to your sovereign,
a daughter's love,
and your heart's remorse are your counselors.
