Lucifer, That Day...

Lucifero, Quel Giorno...

Lucifer, that day,Lucifero, quel giorno,
Was as much as you...Tanto fu come ti...
Where the evil airCh'ivi l'aire maligno
Returns to another life!Ad altra vita torni !

Here weary sighsQuiei sospir' lassi
Cruel feastFesta crudel
May they be pleasingPiace sian quali
As heaven hopesSpera il ciel

Dead, that fierce desire,Morto, quel fero desi-o,
Now more than a year has passed...Or volge piú d'un anno...
Love is a short dreamL'amor è breve sogno
Oh woman!Ô Donna !
My life escapesLa mia vita fugge
Oh woman!Ô Donna !
Now the light kills meOr m'ancide il lume
Dead, that fierce desire...Morto, quel fero desio...
Trembling all over, what do I hope for?Tremando tutta, che spero ?

The poisonous snake crawls,Striscia la velenosa,
Slowly emerges from the bedEsce piano del letto
Smooths its spoilsLe sue spolie liscia
Without hearing a crySenz' udirse un grido
The false loverIl falso'amante
Embraces me in vainM'abbracia'invano
The heart is suffocatedIl cuor si gote '
The sky makes it in vainL cielo fa vano

Dead, that fierce desire (etc...)Morto, quel fero desi-o ( etc... )
