Straniera abbandonata
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Straniera abbandonata,
pavento ad ogni passo
e miro in ogni sasso
scolpito il traditor.
Per ricercare un empio
la Patria, oh Dio!, lasciai.
Ah non t’avessi mai,
mai conosciuto amor.

A foreigner, abandoned
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
A foreigner, abandoned,
I dread to encounter on every path,
and see in every stone,
the traitor revealed.
To find this villain, oh God!
I have left my country!
If only I had never known you,
o wretched Love!
