Cruda Amarilli, che col nom'ancora
D'amar, ahi lasso! amaramente insegni,
Amarilli, del candido ligustro
Più candida più bella,
Ma de l'àspido sordo
E più sorda più fèra e più fugace,
Poi che col dir t'offendo,
i' mi morrò tacendo...

Cruel Amarilli, that also with yr name
alas ! you bitterly teach how to love
Amarilli, whiter and finer than
the white privet.
But deafer, wilder and shiftier
than the deaf asp
Since I offend you with words
I will die by saying nothing

It's old Italian language (end 1600)

"stai attento a quello che desideri, perchè potrebbe realizzarsi" "fai attenzione a quello che chiedi, perchè potrebbe avverarsi" we dont have a particular idiomatic expression for that...we have a general concept of that sentence but you can say it in many ways
