Vorrei spiegarvi, o Dio!
Qual è l'affanno mio;
Ma mi condanna il fato
A piangere e tacer.
Arder non pù il mio core
Per chi vorrebbe amore
E fa che cruda io sembri,
Un barbaro dover.
Ah conte, partite,
Correte, fuggite
Lontano da me;
La vostra diletta
Emilia v'aspetta,
Languir non la fate,
È degna d'amor.
Ah stelle spietate!
Nemiche mi siete.
Mi perdo s'ei resta.
Partite, correte,
D'amor non parlate,
È vostro il suo cor.

I would like to explain to you, oh God

I would like to explain to you, oh God,
what my grief is!
Fate , however condemns me
to weep and keep silent.
My heart may not pine
for the one I would like to love
making me apparently hard-hearted
and cruel.
Alas, Count, part from me,
run, flee
far away from me;
your beloved
Emilia awaits you,
don't keep her languishing,
she is worthy of love.
Alas, pitiless stars!
You are hostile to me.
I am lost when he stays.
Part from me, run,
do not talk about love,
her heart is yours.
