Una furtiva lagrima
Negli occhi suoi spunto:
Quelle festose giovani
Invidiar sembro
Che piu cercando io vo?
Che piu cercando io vo?
M'ama! Si, m'ama,
Lo vedo. Lo ve...do.
Un solo instante i palpiti
Del suo bel cor sentir!
I miei sospir, confondere
Per poco a' suoi sospir!
I palpiti, i palpiti sentir,
Confondere i miei coi suoi sospir ...
Cielo! Si puo morir!
Di piu non chiedo, non chiedo.
Ah, cielo! Si puo! Si, puo morir!
Di piu non ... chiedo, ... non chie...do.
Si puo morire! ... Si puo morir... d'a...mor.
=============================================
A single secret tear
From her eye did spring:
As if she envied all the youths
That laughingly passed her by.
What more searching need I do?
What more searching need I do?
She loves me! Yes, she loves me,
I see it. I see it.
For just an instant the beating
Of her beautiful heart I could feel!
As if my sighs were hers,
And her sighs were mine!
The beating, the beating of her heart I could feel,
to merge my sighs with hers...
Heavens! Yes, I could die!
I could ask for nothing more, nothing more.
Oh, heavens! Yes, I could, I could die!
I could ask for nothing more, nothing more.
Yes, I could die! Yes, I could die of love.
