Original text and translations

Italian text Crudel, perché mi fuggi, s’hai della morte mia tanto desio? Tu sei pur il cor mio? Credi tu, per fuggire, crudel, farmi morire? Ah! non si può morir senza dolore, e doler non si può, chi non ha core.

English translation Heartless woman, why do you avoid me if so strongly you desire my death? Aren't you, after all, my heart? Do you think, cruel one, that by avoiding me you'll make me die? Ha! One cannot die without pain, and he who has no heart, can feel no pain.

French translation Cruelle, pourquoi me fuis-tu si tu désires si ardemment ma mort? Tu es mon cœur, n'oublies pas! Est-ce que tu penses, cruelle, qu'en fuyant tu causeras ma mort? Ah! On ne peut pas mourir sans douleur, et ne peut pas souffrir, qui n'a plus de cœur.
