Oh Mio Rimorso!

Oh mio rimorso! Oh infamia!

lo vissi in tale errore!

Ma il turpe sogno a frangere

il ver mi baleno!

Per poco inseno acquetati,

O grido dell' onore;

m'avarai securo vindice;

quest' onta lavero.

Oh mio rossor! Oh infamia!

Ah, si, quest' onta lavero



(english translation)

Oh, my remorse! Oh, disgrace!

And I lived so mistaken!

But the truth, like a flash,

has broken into my base sleep!

For a little while be calm in my breast,

O cry of honour;

in me you shall have a sure avenger;

I shall wash away this infamy.

Oh, shame! Oh, disgrace!

Ah, yes, I shall wash away this infamy.
