Italian.png Italian text

Se taccio, il duol s’avanza,
se parlo, accresce l’ira,
donna bella e crudel che mi martira.
Ma pur prendo speranza,
che l’umiltà vi pieghi,
chè nel silenzio ancor son voci e prieghi.

If I am silent, the grief advances
If I speak, I increase the anger
of my beautiful and cruel lady who torments me.
And yet I take hope
that you will yield to my humility
that in my silence even are my voice and prayers.
