La timida cervetta
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
La timida cervetta,
che fugge il cacciator,
va errando per timor
per la foresta.
Tal io colma d'affanni,
in mezzo a tanti inganni
errando vado ognor,
confusa dal timor
che il sen m'infesta.

The meek fawn
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
The meek fawn,
as it flees the huntsman,
meanders about the forest
out of sheer dread.
So I, full of worry,
in the midst of much treachery,
wander forth,
my breast being infested with fear,
my mind very confused.
