Lasciatemi morire! O Teseo, o Teseo mio, Volgiti, Teseo mio, O Teseo, o Teseo mio, Dove, dove è la fede, Ahi, che non pur risponde! Che parlo, ahi! Che vaneggio? |
Let me die, Oh Theseus, my Theseus Turn back, my Theseus, Oh, Theseus, Where is the faithfulness Alas, he doesn't even answer! But What am I saying? Why do I rage so? |
