Rossini opera
Ne' fia I think is an old form of 'non sara', but german...
It is sung by Aldimira to Radoski in Rossini's opera Sigismondo. The Re to whom she refers is King Sigismondo.
Radoski replies:
Del suo destino
tremanti ognor vivrem?
which I think is
Must we tremble constantly
at his destiny?
Thanks!

Will it not be you, brother, who brings calm back to the heart of the King?
Obviously this would need rephrasing, but I think this could be the general meaning - 'germano' can mean 'sibling', and although Aldimira and Radoski aren't brother and sister, could it be meant figuratively?
'rieda', I think, means 'tornare', and 'cor' clearly, means heart.

no problem - I agree, Cedric's is certainly better. I was really only focussing on the 'german' part..
