Alfonsos Cavatina

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: DUT ENG FRE ITA

Wenn ich dich, Holde, sehe,
So glaub' ich keinen Schmerz,
Schon deine bloße Nähe
Beseligt dieses Herz.

Die Leiden sind zerronnen,
Die sonst die Brust gequält,
Es leuchten tausend Sonnen
Der lustentbrannten Welt.

Und neue Kräfte blitzen
Ins trunkne Herz hinein,
Ja, ich will dich beschützen,
Ich will dein Diener sein.

Cavatina di Alfonso

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Quando ti vedo, o splendida,
non credo più al dolore,
già la tua sola vicinanza
fa felice il mio cuore.

Le pene si disperdono,
che mi affliggono il cuore,
splendono mille soli
sul mondo acceso di gioia.

E nuove forze lampeggiano
dentro il cuore ebbro,
sì, io voglio proteggerti,
voglio essere il tuo servo.
