Se più fulmini vi sono
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Se più fulmini vi sono
ecco il petto avversi dèi;
me ferite, io vi perdono;
ma salvate il genitor.
Un'immagine di voi
in quell'alma rispettate;
un esempio a noi lasciate
di costanza e di valor.

If you have any lightning bolts left
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
If you have any lightning bolts left,
Here is my breast, cruel gods!
Strike me down! I forgive you,
but save my father!
In his soul, behold and respect
a reflection of your image.
Leave among us an example
of loyalty and valor.
