Ò vin, dissipe la tristesse, Hamlet's aria from Hamlet
Hamlet, by Ambroise Thomas
Oh wine, dissipate the sadness
that lies heavy upon my heart!
To me give the dreams of intoxication
and the mocking laughter!
O enchanting liqueur,
pour drunkeness
and forgetfulness into my heart!
Sweet liqueur!
Life is somber;
The years are short.
Of our beautiful days
God knows the number.
Each person, alas! carries here
his heavy chain -
Cruel duties,
Slow despairs
Of the human soul!
Away from us, black omens!
Ah! Ah!
