Translation of the song lyrics Mattinata: "Mattinata" - Enrico Caruso, Руджеро Леонкавалло

Mattinata: "Mattinata" (original)

L’aurora di bianco vestita
Gia l’uscio dischiude al gran sol;
Di gia con le rosee sue dita
Carezza de' fiori lo stuol
Commosso da un fremito arcano
Intorno il creato già par;
E tu non ti desti, ed invano
Mi sto quit dolente a cantar
Metti anche tu la veste bianca
E schiudi l’uscio al tuo cantor!
Ove non sei la luce manca
Ove tu sei nasce l’amor
Ove non sei la luce manca
Ove non sei la luce manca
Ove tu sei nasce l’amor

(translation)

The dawn dressed in white
Already the door opens to the great sun;
Already with his rosy fingers
The stuol caress the flowers
Moved by an arcane thrill
Around the creation already par;
And you did not wake up, and in vain
I'm sore quit singing
Put on the white robe too
And open the door to your cantor!
Where you are not the light is missing
Where you are, love is born
Where you are not the light is missing
Where you are not the light is missing
Where you are, love is born
