Donizetti: Amore e morte(original) |
Odi di un uom che muore, |
odi l’estremo suon: |
quest’appassito fiore |
ti lascio, Elvira, in don. |
Quanto prezioso ei sia |
tu dei saperlo appien; |
nel dì che fosti mia |
te lo involai dal sen. |
Simbolo allor d’affetto, |
or pegno di dolor; |
torna a posarti in petto |
questo appassito fior. |
E avrai nel cor scolpito, |
se duro il cor non è, |
come ti fu rapito, |
come ritorna a te. |
(translation) |
You hate a dying man, |
you hate the extreme sound: |
this withered flower |
I leave you, Elvira, in don. |
How precious he is |
you know it fully; |
in the day you were mine |
I fled it to you from the sen. |
A symbol of affection, |
or pledge of pain; |
come back to rest on your chest |
this withered flower. |
And you will have in the carved body, |
if the heart is not hard, |
how he was kidnapped, |
as he returns to you. |
