No... svaniti non sono i sogni, e cedo
Language: Italian (Italiano)
No... svaniti non sono i sogni, e cedo,
e m'abbandono a le carezze loro:
chiudo li occhi pensosi e ti rivedo
come in un nimbo di faville d'oro!
Tu mi soridi amabilmente, e chiedo
de'lunghi affanni miei gentil ristoro!
A le dolci lusinghe ancora io credo
a'l ricantar de le speranze in coro.
Ecco... io tendo le mani! ecco a'l rapito pensier
già tutto esulta, e un vivo foco
di sospir, di desío corre le vene!
Ma... tu passi ne l'aere, a'l par di lene
nuvola dileguante a poco a poco,
per lontano orizzonte ... indefinito!

No… the dreams haven’t vanished, and I...
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
No… the dreams haven’t vanished, and I yield,
and abandon myself to their carresses:
I close my eyes pensively and see you again
as in a cloud of rays of gold!
You smile at me lovingly, and I ask
for my long suffering, gentle relief!
In your sweet words, I can believe again
in this singing of our hopes in chorus.
Here… I extend my hands! here, in my rapt thoughts,
all of me exults, and a living fire
of sighing, or desire, runs through my veins!
But… you fade into the air, like a misty
cloud vanishing little by little,
into the distant horizon... undefinable!…
