Mi credi infedele

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG

Mi credi infedele.
Sol questo m'affanna.
Chi sa chi t'inganna.
(Che pena è tacer!)
 
Sei padre, son figlio,
mi scaccia, mi sgrida.
Ma pensa al periglio,
ma poco ti fida.
Ma impara a temer.

You believe me disloyal

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

You believe me disloyal.
Only this displeases me.
Who knows who is deceiving you?
(What suffering to keep silent!)

You are a father, and I am your son.
You cast me off and rebuke me.
But think of the danger,
but trust yourself little.
Learn to fear.
