Se il tuo duol, se il mio desio
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Se il tuo duol, se il mio desio
se n' volassero del pari,
a ubbidirti qual son io,
saria il duol pronto a fuggir.
Quali al trono sian compagni,
chi l'ambisce or veda e impari:
stia lontan, o non si lagni,
se non trova che martir.

If your pain took flight
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
If your pain were to take flight
as speedily as I am eager to serve you,
then your suffering shall
be swift to depart you indeed.
Whoever would seek the throne
should see it and learn to stay far away.
Do not complain if you should find
nothing but anguish there.
