Scherza infida in grembo al drudo
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Scherza infida in grembo al drudo,
io tradito a morte in braccio
per tua colpa ora me n' vo.
Ma a spezzar l'indegno laccio,
ombra mesta, e spirto ignudo,
per tua pena io tornerò.

Enjoy yourself in the arms of your lover
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Enjoy yourself in the arms of your lover,
o faithless one! At your behest,
I shall go forth to seek the embrace of death.
But, to rend asunder this base tie,
I, a sorrowful shade, an ephemeral spirit,
will return to torment you.
