Soffre il mio cor con pace

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Soffre il mio cor con pace  
una beltà tiranna,
l'orgoglio d'un audace,
no, tollerar non sa.

M'affanna, e non m'offende
chi può negarmi amore,
ma di furor m'accende
chi mio rival si fa.

My heart can peacefully suffer

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

My heart can peacefully suffer
a beauty to be tyrannous.
But a braggart's insolent hubris
is not to be borne!

The one who can deny me love
can cause me anguish, but does not offend me.
But whoever should vaunt himself my rival 
only kindles my fury.
