Robert Browning (1812 - 1889)
I send my heart up to thee, all my heart
Language: English
Available translation(s): GER ITA
I send my heart up to thee, all my heart
In this my singing,
For the stars help me, and the sea, and the sea bears part;
The very night is clinging
Closer to Venice' streets to leave one space
Above me, whence thy face
May light my joyous heart to thee, to thee its dwelling place.

Io mando il mio cuore a te, tutto il mio...
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the English
Io mando il mio cuore a te, tutto il mio cuore
In questo mio canto,
Per le stelle mi aiutano, e il mare, e il mare orsi parte;
La sera stessa si aggrappa
Più vicino a strade di Venezia 'a lasciare sullo spazio Sopra di me,
dove il tuo volto
Può illuminare il mio cuore gioioso a te, a te la sua dimora.
