Ardo sì, ma non t'amo
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Ardo sì, ma non t'amo,
Perfida e dispietata,
Indegnamente amata
Da un sì leale amante.
Ne sarà più che del mio duol ti vante
Perch'ho già sano il core ;
E s'ardo, ardo di sdegno e non d'amore.

I burn, but I don’t love you
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
I burn, but I don’t love you,
Perfidious and ruthless one,
Undeserving of love
From a loyal lover.
Nor will I feel any more sorrow at your boasting
Because I have already healed my heart;
And if I burn, I burn of hatred and not of love.
