Apri le luci, e mira
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG ENG
Apri le luci, e mira
gli ascosi altrui martiri:
v'è chi per te sospira,
e non l'intendi ancor.
E in tacita favella
col fumo de' sospiri,
ti scopre, oh dèi! la bella
fiamma, che le arde il sen.

Open your eyes, and see
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Open your eyes, and see
another's hidden suffering:
you still have no idea
that someone else sighs for you.
In a silent speech,
with the smokescreen a sigh affords,
she reveals to you (Gods!)
her dear flame which burns her heart.
