Va'; più non dirmi infida;

Go, call me faithless no longer

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Go, call me faithless no longer;
preserve your heart for my sake.
Bear up against your pain, 
and remember me, I pray.

I have sworn to be faithful to you
wherever you shall go;
think that I remain by your side
wherever heaven should lead you.
