Italian.png Italian text

Io tacerò, ma nel silenzio mio
La lagrime i sospiri
diranno i miei martiri.
Ma s’avverrà ch’io mora,
Griderà poi per me la morte ancora.

In van dunque, o crudele,
vuoi che'l mio duol e'l tuo rigor si cele,
poi che mia cruda sorte
dà la voce al silenzio ed a la morte.

English.png English translation

I will keep quiet, yet in my silence
my tears and sighs
shall tell of my pain.
And if I should die
Death shall cry out for me once again.

Thus in vain, oh cruel one,
yearn you for my pain and your harshness to be hidden
since my cruel fate
gives voice to silence and to death.
