Suicidio!...
In questi fieri momenti
tu sol mi resti,
e il cor mi tenti.
Ultima voce
del mio destino,
ultima croce
del mio cammin.
E un dì leggiadro
volavan l'ore,
perdei la madre,
perdei l'amore,
vinsi l'infausta
gelosa febre!
Or piombo esausta
Fra le tenèbre!
Tocco alla meta...
Domando al cielo
Di dormir quieta
Dentro l'avel...
​
Suicide!
So be it! In this terrible hour
what is left for me
As death by your own hand?
Then will be silent
The yearning of the heart
And then will end
My suffering, my pain.
How light and cheerful
Otherwise fly the days...
The dear mother
have i lost
I lost him too:
And those horrors
are overcome
But all forces
Gone from me too.
Close to my goal
I beg to God:
have mercy on me
and leave in the grave
Find me rest!
