Lyrics:
Lasciatemi morire
Lasciatemi morire
E chi volete
Voi che mi conforte
In cosi dura sorte
In cosi gran martire
Lasciatemi morire
Lasciatemi morire
E chi volete
Voi che mi conforte
In cosi dura sorte
In cosi gran martire
Lasciatemi morire
Lasciatemi morire
Translation:
Let me die, let me die
Why do you want to console me
In such a bitter fate?
In such a great torment?
Let me die, let me die...
