Addio, addio, o miei sospiri,
Han speme i miei desiri;
Per lei soffrir vo' tutto,
Ed ogni duolo sfidar.
Veder ben vogl'io l'inferno,
I figli d'Orco vincer,
Quei tutti superar!
Goodbye, goodbye, or my sighs,
Han desires my desires;
I will suffer everything for you,
And every duel challenge.
See the hell very well,
The sons of Orco vincer,
Those all surpass!
