In te spero, o sposo amato
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
In te spero, o sposo amato,
Fido a te la sorte mia.
E per te, qualunque sia,
Sempre cara a me sarà.
Pur che a me nel morir mio
Il piacer non sia negato
Di vantar che tua son io,
Il morir mi piacerà.

Beloved husband, my hopes are in you
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Beloved husband, my hopes are in you
I entrust my fate within you
And for you, whatever may be,
Always you will treasure me.
If my death should come to me
And I am not denied the pleasure
of boasting that I am your treasure
Even death will pleasant be.
