by Ruggiero Leoncavallo (1857 - 1919)

Mattinata
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG GER JPN
L'Aurora, di bianco vestita,
Già l'uscio dischiude al gran sol,
Di già con le rose sue dita
Carezza de' fiori lo stuol!
Commosso da un fremito arcano
Intorno il creato già par,
E tu non ti desti, ed invano
Mi sto qui dolente a cantar:
Metti anche tu la veste bianca
e schiudi l'uscio al tuo cantor!
Ove non sei la luce manca,
Ove tu sei nasce l'amor! etc.

Note: This song is translated into English in Gateway to Italian Art Songs, Alfred Publishing Co., edited by John Glenn Paton
