Solo dal brando,

Della vittoria
Nasce il piacer.

Ma un cor amando
Ferma il suo volo,
Né della gloria
Cura il pensier.

The pleasure innate

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Chosen for Diff

The pleasure innate
in honorable victory
is born only through the sword
and through wisdom.

But, a heart mired by Love
is stopped mid-flight,
nor does it care
for thoughts of Glory.
