Non è la mia speranza
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Non è la mia speranza
luce di ciel sereno;
di torbido baleno
è languido splendor.
Splendor che in lontananza
nel comparir si cela,
che il rischio, oh dio, mi svela
ma non lo fa minor.

My hope does not consist
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
My hope does not consist
of the light from a peaceful sky,
but rather, the languid splendor
of a flash of lightning.
This splendor whose appearance
is veiled by its distance
reveals its risk to me, o God,
yet does not make it any less.
