Ombra cara, ombra adorata Se mi ascolti e se qui sei, Tu saprai da pensier miei, Quanto sia mia fedeltà. Se non resta vendicata La tua morte e il mio dolore, col svenar quel traditore; Pace il cor mai non avrà.

Chère ombre, ombre adorée, Si tu m'écoutes et si tu es ici, Tu connaîtras de mes pensées Comment est ma fidélité. Si non vengée demeure Ta mort et ma douleur Par le sang de ce traître, Mon cœur n'aura jamais la paix.
