O quali mi risvegliano dolcissimi concenti? Non li odi, o mamma, giungere coll' alitar de' venti? Fatti al veron, ten supplico, e dimmi, donde parte questo suon? Io nulla vego, calmati, non odo voce alcuna. Fuorche il fugente zéfiro, Il raggio della luna, d'una canzon, O povera ammalata, chi vuoi che t'erga il suon? No! No! No! Non è mortal la musica, Che ascolto, che ascolto, o madre mia! Ella mi sembra, Mi sembra d'angeli festosa melodia; Ov'elli son, mi chamano, O mamma, buona notte! Io seguo il suon!"

Oh what sweetest harmonies awake me? Don't you hear them, Mother, blending with the sighing of the winds? Go to the balcony, I beg you, and tell me where this sound comes from. I see nothing, calm down, I don't hear any voice except for the passing breeze, the moonbeams. A song, my poor sick daughter, who wants you to worry about it? No! The music I hear is not of mortal nature, o Mother! It seems to me, It seems to me a joyous melody of angels; where they are, they call me. O Mother, good night! I follow the sound!
