Perduta ho la speranza in voi mirare,
e di speranza sola nutrivo il core!
Ahimè! Ah! come farò, se per amare,
la fede ho già smarrita,

e di speranza sola nutrivo il core!

I have lost hope

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

 I have lost hope in looking at you,
 And by hope alone did I nourish my heart! 
 Ah me! Ah me! Oh, what shall I do if through loving
 I have really lost faith, 
 faith in love? 
 I have lost hope in looking at you,
 And by hope alone did I nourish my heart!
