lyrics

La natura del mio sentimento per Te, Marta, non può mutare; non può divenire soltanto affetto, e basta, se non a costo di sentirmi morire.

Un semplice affetto, un lontano affetto, per alto e nobile e disinteressato che sia, se non vorrà essere altro che affetto, affetto soltanto e basta, affetto e nient'altro, da parte Tua, sarà per me come la morte. Morto, sì, posso esser morto.

...

The nature of my feeling for you, Marta, cannot change; cannot become only affection, and nothing else, except at the cost of my feeling like dying. A simple affection, a distant affection, as noble and disinterested as it may be, if it wants to be nothing but affection, affection only and that’s it, affection and nothing else, from you, will be for me like death. Dead, yes, I can be dead.
