Son fra l'onde in mezzo al mare
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
Son fra l'onde in mezzo al mare,
E al furor di doppio vento;
Or resisto, or mi sgomento
Fra la speme, e fra l'orror.
Per la fe, per la tua vita
Or pavento, or sono ardita,
E ritrovo egual martire
Nell' ardire e nel timor.

Je suis parmi les vagues
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Je suis parmi les vagues au milieu de la mer,
Et à la fureur du vent double
tantôt je résiste, tantôt je tremble
Dans l'espoir et dans l'horreur.
Pour la foi, pour ta vie
Tantôt j'ai peur, tantôt je suis courageuse,
Et je trouve un martyr égal
En osant et en craignant.
