Language: Italian (Italiano)

Available translation(s): ENG

Sento talor nell'anima  
un dolce movimento,
che lusinghiero e tenero
mi va parlando in sen.

Allor se un caro sposo
avessi al fianco mio,
quanto nel cor desio
saria compito appien.

Sometimes I feel it in my soul

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Sometimes I feel it in my soul,
a sweet feeling in my breast
which talks to me so vividly,
so seductively and tenderly.

If only I had at my side
a loving husband,
how completely my heart's desire
would be fulfilled!
