L'alba sepàra dalla luce l'ombra
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE SPA SPA
L'alba sepàra dalla luce l'ombra,
E la mia voluttà dal mio desire.
O dolce stelle, è l'ora di morire.
Un più divino amor dal ciel vi sgombra.
Pupille ardenti, O voi senza ritorno
Stelle tristi, spegnetevi incorrotte!
Morir debbo. Veder non voglio il giorno,
Per amor del mio sogno e della notte.
Chiudimi, O Notte, nel tuo sen materno,
Mentre la terra pallida s'irrora.
Ma che dal sangue mio nasca l'aurora
E dal sogno mio breve il sole eterno!

El alba separa la luz de la sombra
Language: Spanish (Español) after the Italian (Italiano)
El alba separa la luz de la sombra
Y el placer de mi deseo
Oh dulces estrellas, es hora de morir
Un amor mas divino del cielo os borra
Ardientes pupilas, oh tristes estrellas
Sin retorno, apagaos incorruptas.
Morir debo. No quiero ver el día
Por amor a mi sueño y a la noche
Envuélveme, oh noche, en tu seno materno
Mientras la pálida tierra se ilumina.
Pero que de mi sangre nazca la aurora
Y de mi breve sueño, el sol eterno!
