In questa tomba oscura
Language: Italian (Italiano)
In questa tomba oscura Lasciami riposar; Quando vivevo, ingrata, Dovevi a me pensar. Lascia che l'ombre ignude Godansi pace almen E non, e non bagnar mie ceneri D'inutile velen.

En cette tombe obscure
Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)
En cette tombe obscure, je t'en prie laisse-moi tranquille! C'est quand je vivais, ingrate, qu'il fallait penser à moi... Laisse les ombres nues profiter au moins de la paix et ne viens pas maintenant baigner mes cendres d'un vain poison...
