Non vedi tiranno

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Available translation(s): ENG

Non vedi tiranno
ch’io moro d’affanno?
Che bramo che in pace
mi lasci morir?
 
Che ho l’alma sì oppressa
che tutto mi spiace,
che quasi me stessa
non posso soffrir.

Tyrant, can't you see

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Tyrant, can't you see
that I die from worry?
Just leave me to die!
That's all I want.

My soul is so oppressed
that I detest everything,
and I almost cannot even
bear myself.
