Di quella pira l' orrendo foco
tutte le fibre m' a***, avvampò!...
Empi spegnetela, od io fra poco
col sangue vostro la spegnerò...
Era già figlio prima d' amarti,
non può frenarmi il tuo martir.
Madre infelice, corro a salvarti,
o teco almeno corro a morir!
The flames of that terrible pyre
inflamed and consumed all my being!...
Pitiless men, put it out, or I will shortly
do it with your own blood...
I was your son before I began to love you,
Your torments won't stop me.
Unhappy mother, I run to rescue you
or I shall die with you!
