Vanne, o Rosa Fortunata

Go, O Lucky Rose

Vanne, o Rosa Fortunata

Go, O lucky roseVanne, o rosa fortunata
To rest on the chest of NiceA posar di Nice in petto
And everyone will be forcedEd ognun sarà costretto
To envy your fateLa tua sorte invidiar

Oh, if I could alsoOh, se in te potessi anch'io
Transform into you for just a momentTransformarmi un sol momento
I would have no greater joyNon avria più bel contento
Than this heart to sighQuesto core a sospirar

But you bow, spitefulMa tu inchini dispettosa
Beautiful rose, pale and wanBella rosa impallidita
Your brow fadedLa tua fronte scolorita
From disdain and from painDallo sdegno e dal dolor

Beautiful rose, it's destinedBella rosa, è destinata
For both to share the same fateAd entrambi un'ugual sorte
There we must find deathLà trovar dobbiam la morte
You from envy and I from loveTu d'invidia ed io d'amor
