Una furtiva lagrima negli occhi suoi spunto
Quelle festose giovani invidiar sembro
Che piu` cercando io vo? Che piu` cercando io vo?
M"ama, si m"ama, lo vedo, lo vedo!
Un solo istante il palpiti del suo bel cor sentir
i miei sospir confondere per poco a suoi sospir
i palpiti, i palpiti sentir confondere i miei co" suoi sospir
Cielo, si puo` morir di piu` non chiedo non chiedo
One tear that falls so furtively from her sweet eyes has just sprung,
as if she envied all the youths who laughingly passed her right by.
What could I want more than this?
She loves me! I see it.
One moment just to hear her heart, beating so close next to mine,
to hear my sighs like they were hers, her sighings as if they were mine!
to hear her heart, her sighings as if they were mine
Heavens, please take me now: All that I wanted is mine now!
