Che fiero momento
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Che fiero momento,
Che barbara sorte,
Passar dalla morte
A tanto dolor!
Avvezzo al contento
D'un placido obblio,
Fra queste tempeste
Si per de il mio cor.
Io vacillo, io tremo.
Che fiero momento,
Che barbara sorte,
Passar dalla morte
A tanto dolor!

What a fierce moment
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
What a fierce moment,
What a barbaric fate,
To go from death
To such pain!
Accustomed to the contentment
Of peaceful oblivion,
Among these storms
My heart is lost.
I falter, I tremble.
What a fierce moment,
What a barbaric fate,
To go from death
To such pain!
