Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

EDOARDO
Dunque tutto, amici cari,
Dunque tutto non sapete?
Io v'apro il cor.

Pietoso al lungo pianto
Alfin m'arride amore;
Quella che m'arde il core
Mia sposa alfin sarà.
Avrò per sempre accanto
Il ben che già perdea!
Questa amorosa idea
Scordare il duol mi fa!

CORO
Finì la sorte rea? …
Godiamo in verità.

English Libretto or Translation:

EDOARDO
Then, my dear friends,
you don't know everything.
I'll confide in you.

Mercifully, after much weeping,
love has finally smiled upon me.
She who has set me aflame
will at last become my wife.
This treasure, whom I almost lost,
will always be beside me.
This happy thought
dispels all sorrow.

CHORUS
Then your sorrows are over?
We are truly delighted.

EDOARDO
Pray, allow a loving soul
a single ray of hope,
So that for one moment of joy
he may abandon his sad heart.
Ah! But if one lacks the faint pleasure
that is born of hope,
there is no point in any other good;
love is an agony.
