L'alba sepàra dalla luce l'ombra
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE SPA SPA
L'alba sepàra dalla luce l'ombra,
E la mia voluttà dal mio desire.
O dolce stelle, è l'ora di morire.
Un più divino amor dal ciel vi sgombra.
Pupille ardenti, O voi senza ritorno
Stelle tristi, spegnetevi incorrotte!
Morir debbo. Veder non voglio il giorno,
Per amor del mio sogno e della notte.
Chiudimi, O Notte, nel tuo sen materno,
Mentre la terra pallida s'irrora.
Ma che dal sangue mio nasca l'aurora
E dal sogno mio breve il sole eterno!

L'aube sépare l'ombre de la lumière
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano)
L'aube sépare l'ombre de la lumière,
Et ma volupté de mon désir.
Ô douces étoiles, c'est l'heure de mourir,
Un amour plus divin vous ôte du ciel.
Pupilles ardentes, ô vous qui ne reviendrez pas,
Tristes étoiles, éteignez vos feux incorruptibles !
Je dois mourir. Je ne veux pas voir le jour,
Par amour de mon rêve et de la nuit.
Enveloppe-moi, ô nuit, dans ton sein maternel,
Pendant que la terre pâle se baigne dans la rosée,
Mais que de mon sang naisse l'aurore
Et de mon bref rêve le soleil éternel !
