Lucifero, Quel Giorno...
Lucifero, quel giorno,
Tanto fu come ti...
Ch'ivi l'aire maligno
Ad altra vita torni !
Quiei sospir' lassi
Festa crudel
Piace sian quali
Spera il ciel
Morto, quel fero desi-o,
Or volge piú d'un anno...
L'amor è breve sogno
Ô Donna !
La mia vita fugge
Ô Donna !
Or m'ancide il lume
Morto, quel fero desio...
Tremando tutta, che spero ?
Striscia la velenosa,
Esce piano del letto
Le sue spolie liscia
Senz' udirse un grido
Il falso'amante
M'abbracia'invano
Il cuor si gote '
L cielo fa vano
Morto, quel fero desi-o ( etc... )
Lucifer, That Day...
Lucifer, that day,
Was as much as you...
Where the evil air
Returns to another life!
Here weary sighs
Cruel feast
May they be pleasing
As heaven hopes
Dead, that fierce desire,
Now more than a year has passed...
Love is a short dream
Oh woman!
My life escapes
Oh woman!
Now the light kills me
Dead, that fierce desire...
Trembling all over, what do I hope for?
The poisonous snake crawls,
Slowly emerges from the bed
Smooths its spoils
Without hearing a cry
The false lover
Embraces me in vain
The heart is suffocated
The sky makes it in vain
Dead, that fierce desire (etc...)
