AVE MARIA NO MORRO
Martins Herivelto

C’è lassù fra I boschi
Un minuscolo paese
Così bello
Che nel mondo non ce n’è

Vive felice come incantato
Come estasiato
Non possiede un campanile
Come nella grande città

Ma nel tramonto
L’arcobaleno s’accende in ciel
E nell’aria senbra udir
Che una campana suoni lassù
L’ora fatata della preghiera
Che viene dal bosco Io la conosco

Scende dal cielo
Come un incanto un’armonia.
È l’Ave Maria
Ave Maria Ave Maria

Quando il giorno muore
Canta un cantico d’amore
Ave Maria

Scende dal cielo
Come un incanto un’armonia
È l’Ave Maria
Ave Maria Ave Maria

Quando il giorno muore
Canta un cantico d’amore
Ave Maria Ave Maria

AVE MARIA NO MORRO


There is a forest
A small place
So beautiful
That there is no place like it in the world

It lives happy, like enchanted,
like charmed
It does not have a bell tower
Like a big city

But in the evening at sunset
The rainbow lights up the sky
And in the air is always heard
The bell ringing above
The enchanted hour of prayer
That comes to the forest I know

Descending from the sky
Like a spell, a harmony
Is Ave Maria
Ave Maria, Ave Maria

When the day dies
It sings a hymn of love
Ave Maria

Descending from the sky
Like a spell, a harmony
Is Ave Maria
Ave Maria, Ave Maria

When the day dies
It sings a hymn of love
Ave Maria, Ave Maria

L’ANIMA HO STANCA
from "Adriana Lecouvreur"
F. Cilea / A. Colautti

L’anima ho stanca,
e la mèta è lontana;
non aggiungete la rampogna vana
all’ansia che m’accora …
Assai vi debbo;
ma se amor vanisce,
mèmore affetto in cor mi fiorirà …
MY SPIRIT IS WEARY



My spirit is weary
and my goal is distant;
do not heap gratuitous reproofs on
the many cares that occupy my mind …
I owe you too much already;
though love should wane,
I shall forever cherish your fond memory.

SOGNO
Francesco Paolo Tosti

Ho sognato che stavia ginocchi
Come un santo che prega il Signor,
Mi guardavi nel fondo degl´occhi,
Sfavillava il tuo sguardo d`amor.

Tu parlavi e la voce sommessa…
Mi chiedea dolcemente mercè,
Solo un guardo che fosse promessa…
Imploravi curvato al mio piè.

Io traceva e coll’anima forte
Il desio tentatore lottò
Ho provato il martirio e la morte,
Pur me vinsi e ti dissi di no.

Ma il tuo labbro sfiorò la mia faccia…
E la forza del cor mi tradì
Chiusi gli occhi,
ti stesi le braccia,
Ma sognavo e il be sogno svanì!
DREAM


I have dreamed of you on your knees
Like a saint who prays to the Lord,
You gazed at me and in your eyes.
Sparkled your glance of love.

You spoke and your low voice...
Asked me sweetly for mercy,
Only a glance that is promised...
Did you implore bended at my foot.

I was silent and with my strong soul
I struggled for the attempted desire,
I have felt martyrdom and death,
Yet me you conquered and said no.

But your lips touched my face...
And the force of your heart betrayed me.
You closed your eyes,
you stretched your arms,
But I was dreaming and the beautiful dream vanished!
