Lyrics: ... morte--che vôi?--te chiamo--eccom'appresso-- prendim'e fa che manchi il mio dolore -- non posso perch'in te non regna il core -- sì fa! sì fa! -- fatte'l restituire ché chi vita non ha non può morire. death--what do you want?--i call you--here i am, nearby-- take me and make my pain go away -- i cannot, because in you, the heart does not live -- yes do it! yes do it! -- you do it! restore your own heart because whoever has no life cannot die.
