Se il mio paterno amore
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Se il mio paterno amore
sdegna il tuo cuore altero,
più giudice severo
che padre a te sarò.
E l'empia fellonia
che forse volgi in mente
prima che adulta sia
nascente opprimerò.

If your arrogant heart
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
If your arrogant heart
scorns my paternal love,
I will become a severe judge
more than I am your father.
I will stamp out any thoughts of
wicked crimes that perhaps you contemplate
before they have the chance
to mature into evil deeds.
