Dear Rachel:

This is my second post so I hope it's all right to write to the list and put
it to your attention.

Here is the translation of Pieta Signore... it's in a great book by Schoep
and Harris called Word by Word Translation of Songs and Arias.. this is in
the II book all Italian.. the other book has German and French.

Pity, Lord (of) (on) me sorrowing.
If to you arrives (the) my (praying) prayer
Not me (let-punish) the your rigor (Let your severity not punish me)
Less Severe, merciful always.
Turn (the)your glances upon (of) me.
Not let-it-be ever that in (the)-inferno
I may be damned in the fire eternal.

that's literal and a bit poetic.. hope that helps.. you get the basic
meaning but this is word by word.

Good luck.
