Barbaro! t’odio a morte
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Barbaro! Barbaro!
t’odio a morte,
ma più mortale orror
ho di me stessa ancor,
che viva son per te.
Perfido agli occhi miei tu sei
un mostro e non un Re.
Barbaro!

Barbarian! I hate you unto death!
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Barbarian!
I hate you unto death,
but I regard myself
with even greater horror,
for I owe my very life to you.
You traitor! To my eyes you are a monster.
You are no king.
Barbarian!
