Che veggio? Che sento?

Che veggio? Che sento?
Catene, tormento;
son Ré, ma dov’è
il regno, il soglio?
Ahi tutto perde
il misero cor!
Aita non spero,
conforto non voglio,
son preda al furor.

What see I? What hear I?
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
What see I? What hear I?
Chains, torment,
I am a king, but where is my kingdom?
Where is my throne?
Alas, my wretched heart
has lost everything!
I expect no assistance,
I desire no comfort,
I am prey to fury.
