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.

朝の歌（マッティナータ）

Language: Japanese (日本語) after the Italian (Italiano)

白い衣を纏った夜明けの空は
輝く太陽のためにすでに扉を開け
そのバラ色の手で
たくさんの花をやさしくなでている
周りではすでに、全ての命が
神秘的なざわめきに心を奪われているかのようだ
でも君はまだ目覚めない、そして僕はむなしく
苦しみながらここで君に歌いかけている
さあ君も白い服に身を包み
君の歌い手のために扉を開けて!
君のいないところには光がない
君のいるところでは愛が生まれる
