Grande Valzer
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Da te lontano e vivere,
Tenero mio sospiro,
E non morir fra i palpiti,
Come il mio cor potrà?
Sei l’aura che respiro,
Il sol degli occhi miei;
L’alma dell’alma sei,
La mia felicità.
Ah! che assorta in dolce incanto
Fra le gioie dell’amor,
Sento il core palpitar!
Or che sono a te d’accanto
Ah! di più non so bramar!

Great Waltz
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
To be far from you, and yet to live,
Dear sigh of my soul,
And not to die in palpitations,
How could my heart do it?
You are the air I breathe,
The sun that lights my eyes;
You are the soul of my soul,
My very happiness.
For rapt in sweet enchantment,
surrounded by the joys of love,
I feel my heart pounding!
Now that I am by your side,
I know not what to wish for more!
