Lascia ch'io pianga
mia cruda sorte,
E che sospiri la libertą!
E che sospiri,
e che sospiri la libertą!
Lascia ch'io pianga
mia cruda sorte,
E che sospiri la libertą!
Il duolo infranga
queste ritorte
de miei martiri
sol per pietą,
de miei martiri
sol per pietą.
Lascia ch'io pianga
mia cruda sorte,
E che sospiri la libertą!
E che sospiri,
e che sospiri la libertą!
Lascia ch'io pianga
mia cruda sorte,
E che sospiri la libertą!

Let me weep over
my cruel fate,
And that I long for freedom!
And that I long,
and that I long for freedom!
Let me weep over
my cruel fate,
And that I long for freedom!
The duel infringes
these images
of my sufferings
I pray for mercy.
for my sufferances.
I pray for mercy.
Let me weep over
my cruel fate,
And that I long for freedom!
And that I long,
and that I long for freedom!
Let me weep over
my cruel fate,
And that I long for freedom!
