Alma grande e nobil core

Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Alma grande e nobil core
Le tue pari ognor disprezza.
Sono dama al fasto avvezza
E so farmi rispettar.
Va', favella, a quell'ingrato,
Gli dirai che fida io sono.
Ma non merita perdono,
Sì mi voglio vendicar,
Ingrato non merita perdono,
Sì mi voglio vendicar.

A great soul and noble heart
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
A great soul and noble heart
always spurns those like you.
I am a lady accustomed to splendor,
and I will be respected.
Go, and relate to that
ingrate that I am faithful.
But he does not deserve pardon,
and I will have my revenge.
