Bellini: La Sonnambula / Act 2 - Ah! non credea mirarti si presto estinto, o fiore (original)

Ah, non credea mirarti
si presto estinto, o fiore;
passasti al par d’amore,
che un giorno sol (o) duro.
Potria novel vigore
il pianto mio recarti
ma ravvivar l’amore
il pianto mio, ah no, non puo.
Ah, non giunge uman pensiero
al contento ond’io son piena:
a miei sensi io credo appena;
tu m’affida o mio tesor.
Ah, mi abbraccia, e sempre insieme,
sempre uniti in una speme,
della terra, in cui viviamo
ci formiamo un ciel d’amor.

(translation)

Ah, he didn't believe he was looking at you
it soon became extinct, o flower;
you passed to the par of love,
than one hard day.
Potria novel vigor
my tears go to you
but revive love
my cry, ah no, it can't.
Ah, no human thought comes
to the content that I am full:
to my senses I hardly believe;
you entrust me, my treasure.
Ah, he hugs me, and always together,
always united in a hope,
of the earth, in which we live
we form a heaven of love.
