L'ora del ritrovo
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: ENG GER
Odi, Elisa: questa è l'ora,
Ch'hai prefissa al mio venir.
Per gli amanti ogni dimora
È tormento da morir.
Ho pregato l'aer fosco
Che s'affretti per pietà,
M'ha promesso il vicin bosco
Che il segreto serberà.
Fuor che il palpito del core
Tutto al cor riposerà.
Il segreto dell'amore
Solo amor conoscerà. Vieni!

The rendezvous
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Listen, Elisa: at what hour,
Do you wish me to come.
Any delay is/means torture
To those who truly love.
With a grim face I prayed
Fate to have pity and make her hurry.
The near forest has promised
To keep our secret.
Safe our heartbeat
All will be calm.
The secret of our love
Is only known to us. Come!
