Eccomi in lieta vesta

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG FIN

Eccomi in lieta vesta...
Eccomi adorna come vittima all'ara.
Oh! Almen potessi qual vittima
cader dell'ara al piede!
O nuziali tede, abborrite così fatali,
siate, ah, siate per me faci ferali.
Ardo... una vampa,
una foco tutta mi strugge.
(Si affaccia alla finestra, e ritorna.)
Un refrigerio ai venti io chiedo invano.
Ove sei tu, Romeo? In qual terra t'aggiri?
Dove, inviarti, dove i miei sospiri?

Oh, quante volte, oh quante
ti chiedo al ciel piangendo!
Con quale ardor t'attendo,
e inganno il mio desir!
Raggio del tuo sembiante
ah! parmi il brillar del giorno:
ah! l'aura che spira intorno
mi sembra un tuo sospir.

Tässä minä istun juhla‑asuun puettuna

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the Italian (Italiano)

Tässä minä istun juhla-asuun puettuna...
Koristeltuna kuin uhriteuras alttarilla.
Voi! Kunpa saisin kaatua uhrina
alttarin juurelle!
Te morsiussoihdut, kammottavat ja niin kohtalokkaat,
kunpa olisittekin hautajaissoihtujani.
Minä palan... se liekki,
se tuli kalvaa minut aivan kokonaan.
(Menee ikkunan luo ja palaa takaisin)
Turhaan minä pyydän tuulia virvoittamaan minua.
Missä sinä olet, Romeo? Missä sinä oikein vaellat?
Minne minun pitäisi lähettää huokaukseni?

Voi miten monta kertaa
olen itkien rukoillut taivaalta sinua!
Millä kiihkolla minä sinua odotankaan,
ja aina petyn kaipauksessani!
Kirkas päivänpaiste
on kuin kasvojesi loistetta:
Voi, tuuli, joka pyörii ympärilläni
tuntuu sinun huokauksiltasi.
