Dov' io credea le mie speranze verde
Original Language: Italian
Dov’io credea le mie speranze vere
Io vitrovai smarita piu la fede
Cosi va chi troppo ama e troppo crede.
Il cor sincero che con fede amava
Senza speme tradito al fin si vede
Cosi va chi troppo am’e troppo crede.
Il moi amor la mia fede, el’al trui inganno
D’un infinito duol m’há fato erede
Cosi va chi troppo a ma e troppo crede.
Lasso ch’io pur m’accorgo et ard’il veggio
Che fede non puo dar chi non ha fede
Cosi va chi troppo ama e troppo crede.
English
Where I believed my hopes to be true,
I found my trust the most misled:
That's how it is with one who loves too much and trusts too much.
The sincere heart that loved with trust
in the end sees itself betrayed without hope:
That's how it is with one who loves too much and trusts too much.
My love, my trust, and the deceitfulness of others
have made me heir to infinite suffering:
That's how it is with one who loves too much and trusts too much.
Alas, I realize it, and dare to see
that one who is untruthful can't be trusted:
That's how it is with one who loves too much and trusts too much.
