Lyrics & English Translation

Oh, I didn't believe to see you
so quickly extinct, o flowers;
you have passed away like love
that one day only lasted.
Perhaps new life
my tears will bring to you
but to revive love
my tears, o no, cannot.
O, inconceivable human thought
a wave of contentment I am full:
In my feelings I can hardly believe
you assure me, o my treasure(darling).
O, embrace me, and always together,
always united in a single hope,
of the world, we live in
we will make a heaven of love.

O, inconceivable human thought
a wave of contentment I am full:
In my feelings I can hardly believe
you assure me, o my treasure(darling).
O, embrace me, and always together,
always united in a single hope,
of the world, we live in
we will make a heaven of love.

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

AMINA
si guarda la mano come cercando l'anello di Elvino
L'anello mio... l'anello...
Ei me l'ha tolto... Ma non può rapirmi
L'immagin sua... Sculta... ella è qui, qui... nel petto.
Si toglie dal seno i fiori ricevuti da Elvino.
Né te d'eterno affetto
Tenero pegno, o fior... né te perdei...
Ancor ti bacio... ma... inaridito sei.

Ah! non credea mirarti
Sì presto estinto, o fiore;
Passasti al par d'amore,
Che un giorno sol durò.
Piange sui fiori.

English Libretto or Translation:

AMINA
you look at your hand as you look for Elvino's ring
My ring ... the ring ...
He took it from me ... But he can not kidnap me
His imaginations ... Shush ... she is here, here ... in her chest.
The flowers received from Elvino are removed from the breast.
Neither you of eternal affection
Tender pledge, or flower ... nor did you lose ...
Even I kiss you ... but ... you are dried up.

Ah! I did not believe to aim you
Yes soon extinct, or flower;
You passed to the par of love,
That one day only lasted.
He cries on the flowers.
