Ma, se con la pietà non è in te spenta
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): FRE SPA
Ma, se con la pietà non è in te spenta
gentilezza e valor, che teco nacque,
non mi negar, ti prego,
anima cruda sí, ma però bella,
non mi negar a l'ultimo sospiro
un tuo solo sospir. Beata morte,
se l'addolcissi tu con questa sola
voce cortese e pia:
«Va' in pace, anima mia!»

Mais si avec la pitié ne ont pas éteintes en toi
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Mais si avec la pitié ne ont pas éteintes en toi
la gentillesse et la valeur qui sont nées avec toi,
ne me refuse pas, je t'en prie,
âme cruelle, mais pourtant belle,
ne me refuse pas à mon ultime soupir
un seul de tes soupirs. Mort bénie,
si tu l'adoucissais avec cette unique
et très douce parole d'une voix aimable et pieuse :
« Va en paix, mon âme ! »
