Ombra cara
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ombra cara di mia sposa, 
Deh! riposa, 
E lieta aspetta 
La vendetta che farò! 

E poi tosto ove tu stai 
Mi vedrai 
Venire a volo, 
E fedel t’abbraccerò.

Dear spirit
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Dear spirit of my wife,
Ah! rest [in peace], 
And wait happily
For the vengeance I will take!

And promptly afterward,
You will see me come flying
To where you are now,
And faithfully I will embrace you.
