Lyrics of Verdi: Rigoletto / Act 3 - "La donna è mobile" - Luciano Pavarotti, Sting, Zucchero

Verdi: Rigoletto / Act 3 - "La donna è mobile" (original)

La donna e mobile
qual piuma al vento,
muta d' accento — e di pensier.
Sempre un' amabile leggiadro viso,
in pianto o in riso,
e menzognero.
La donna e mobile
qual piuma al vento,
muta d' accento — e di pensier!
e di pensier!
e di pensier!
E sempre misero
chi a lei s' affida,
chi le confida — mal caut o il cor!
Pur mai non sentensi
felice appieno
chi su quel seno — non liba amor!
La donna e mobile
qual piuma al vento,
muta d' accento — e di pensier
e di pensier
e di pensier!

(translation)

The woman is mobile
as a feather in the wind,
she changes her accent - and her thoughts.
Always a lovable graceful face,
in tears or laughter,
and liar.
The woman is mobile
as a feather in the wind,
change of accent - and of thoughts!
and to think!
and to think!
And always miserable
who entrusts himself to her,
who trusts them - badly caution or the heart!
Yet I never heard
happy fully
who on that breast - non liba amor!
The woman is mobile
as a feather in the wind,
change of accent - and of thoughts
and to think
and to think!
