Italian.png Italian text

«Mercè!», grido piangendo,
ma chi m'ascolta?
Ahi lasso, io vengo meno.
Morrò dunque tacendo.
Deh, per pietade! Almeno,
o del mio cor tesoro,
potessi dirti pria
ch'io mora: «Io moro.»


Spanish.png Spanish translation

«¡Merced!» grito llorando,
más ¿quién me escucha?
¡Ay de mí! Estoy desfalleciendo.
Y muero pues callando.
Ay, por piedad! Al menos,
oh de mi corazón tesoro mío,
pudiera decirte antes de que
me muera: «Me muero.»

English.png English translation

"Mercy!" I cry, weeping.
But who hears me?
Alas, I faint.
I shall die, therefore, in silence.
Ah, for pity! At least,
oh treasure of my heart,
let me tell you before
I die, "I die!"


German.png German translation

«Gnade!», rufe ich weinend,
doch wer hört mich?
Ach ich Ärmster! Meine Kräfte schwinden mir
und schweigend sterbe ich.
Ach, Erbarmen! Wenn wenigstens,
o meines Herzens Schatze,
ich dir doch sagen könnt, bevor
ich sterbe: «Ich sterbe!»

Portuguese.png Portuguese translation by Carlos Augusto Mourão

«Clemência!», grito chorando,
mas quem me escuta?
Ai de mim! Estou desfalecendo.
Morrerei, pois, calando-me.
Ah, por piedade! Ao menos,
ó tesouro do meu coração,
pudesse eu dizer-te antes
que eu morra: «Eu morro.»


French.png French translation

«Grâce!» je crie en pleurant,
mais qui m'écoute?
Hélas! Je défaille.
Je meurs donc en me taisant.
Las, pitié! Au moins,
oh trésor de mon cœur,
pourrais-je te dire avant
de mourir: «Je meurs.»
