Ombra cara
Language: Italian (Italiano)
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.
