Original text and translations

Italian text

Ah! se intorno a quest'urna funesta,
Euridice, ombra bella, t'aggiri,
Odi i pianti, i lamenti, i sospiri
Che dolenti si spargon per te.
Ed ascolta il tuo sposo infelice
Che piangendo
Ti chiama e si lagna;
Come quando
La dolce compagna
Tortorella amorosa perdé.
