by Lorenzo Da Ponte (1749 - 1838)

Giunse alfin il momento... Al desìo di chi t'adora
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Giunse alfìn il momento
Che godrò senza affanno
In braccio all'idol mio. Timide cure,
Uscite dal mio petto,
A turbar non venite il mio diletto!

Oh, come par che all'amoroso foco
L'amenità del loco,
La terra e il ciel risponda,
Come la notte i furti miei seconda!

Al desìo di chi t'adora,
Vieni, vola, o mia speranza!

Morirò, se indarno ancora
Tu mi lasci sospirar.

Le promesse, i giuramenti,
Deh! rammenta, o mio tesoro! 

E i momenti di ristoro
Che mi fece Amor sperar!

Ah! ch'io mai più non resisto
All'ardor che in sen m'accende!
Chi d'amor gli affetti intende,
Compatisca il mio penar.
