    Già la notte s'avvicina:
    Vieni, o Nice, amato bene,
    Della placida marina
    Le fresch' aure a respirar.

    Non sa dir che sia diletto
    Chi non posa in queste arene,
    Or che un lento zeffiretto
    Dolcemente increspa il mar.

Yö lähestyy jo

(Sung text translation for setting by I. Colbran)

See original

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the Italian (Italiano)

Yö lähestyy jo,
tule, Nice, oma rakastettuni,
tule rauhalliselle rannalle

silloin, kun leuto lounaistuuli
lempeästi saa merenpinnan väreilemään.
