Original text and translations

Italian text First part Io tacerò, ma nel silenzio mio Le lagrime e i sospiri Diranno i miei martiri. Ma s’avverrà ch’io mora, Griderà poi per me la morte ancora. Second part 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 translation First part I will keep quiet, yet in my silence my tears and sighs shall tell of my pain. But if I should die Death shall cry out for me once again. Second part 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.
