ALVAROO tu che seno agli angeliEternamente pura,Salisti bella, incolumeDalla mortal jattura,Non iscordar di volgereLo sguardo a me tapino,Che senza nome ed esule,In odio del destino,Chiedo anelando,Ahi misero,La morte d'incontrar.Leonora mia, soccorrimi,Pietŕ del mio penar!Pietŕ di me!
English Libretto or Translation:
ALVARO
Oh, you who have ascended, forever pure, to the bosom of the angels, lovely and untouched by mortal sorrow, do not forget to look down on me, unhappy wretch, who, nameless and exiled, the prey of fate, longingly seeks to encounter death, unfortunate that I am! Leonora, help me, have pity on my anguish. Help me, have pity on me!
