Rendimi il figlio mio
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Rendimi il figlio mio;
ah mi si spezza il cor;
non son più madre, oh dio,
non ho più figlio.
Qual barbaro sarà
che a tanto mio dolor
non bagni per pietà
di pianto il ciglio.

Give me back my son!
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Give me back my son!
Ah yes, my heart breaks!
No longer a mother, o God,
I have a son no more.
He is no better than a barbarian
who would not bathe the skies
with his tears out of pity
for such pain as is mine.
