Tra le speranze e 'l timore
Original Language: Italian
"Timore, e che sarà?
Godremo sì o no?"
"Datemi libertà,
Speranze, e vel dirò
non s'accordano mai
le Speranze e 'l Timor,
ché l'uno sogna guai
e l'altre acceca Amor."
"Timore, di', pur di'!"
"Speranze, io vel dirò,
ma se dirò di no,
voi direte di sì."
English
Between Hope and Fear
- Fear, what shall we do?
Shall we enjoy ourselves, yes or no?
- Give me leave,
Hope, and I’ll tell you:
Hope and Fear will
never agree,
for one anticipates trouble
and the other is blinded by love.
- Fear, tell me, oh tell me!
- Hope, I’ll tell you,
but if I say no,
you'll say yes.
