Se il caro figlio
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Se il caro figlio
vede in periglio
diventa umana
la tigre ircana
e lo difende
dal cacciator.
Più fiero core
del tuo non vidi.
Non senti amore,
la prole uccidi,
empio ti rende
cieco furor.

Even the tiger
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Even the tiger
from far-off Hyrcania
will become human
and defend her son
from the huntsman
who poses a danger.
I have seen no heart
more proud and stubborn than yours.
You feel no love,
you kill your offspring,
and blind fury renders you
tyrannical and cruel.
