Lascia ch'io pianga


Lascia ch’io pianga
mia cruda sorte,
e che sospiri
la libertà.

Il duolo infranga
queste ritorte
de’ miei martiri
sol per pietà.

The literal translation (taken from Wikipedia):

Let me weep over
my cruel fate,
and let me sigh for
liberty.

May sorrow shatter
these chains,
of my woes
out of pity alone.

My dad loved this song, and especially Barbra Streisand's version. Requiescat in pace.
