L'invito

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG SPA

Vieni, o Ruggiero, 
la tua Eloisa 
da te divisa 
non puo restar:
alle mie lacrime
già rispondevi, 
vieni, ricevi 
il mio pregar.

Vieni, o bell'angelo, 
vien, mio diletto,
sovra il mio petto 
vieni a posar!
Senti se palpita, 
se amor t'invita... 
vieni, mia vita, 
vieni, fammi spirar ...

The invitation

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Come Ruggiero, 
your Eloisa
Cannot stay 
separated from you:
You've already 
responded to my tears, 
Come and grant 
my request.

Come, beautiful angel, 
come, my delight,
Here on my bosom 
come to rest!
Feel my throbbing heart, 
when love invites you,
Come my life, come, 
make me die!
