Composition Info: | LYRICS: Ella giammai m’amò! No, quel cor chiuso è a me, amor per me non ha! Io la rivedo ancor contemplar triste in volto il mio crin bianco il dì che qui di Francia venne. No, amor per me non ha, Dove son?…Quei doppier presso a finir!… L’ aurora imbianca il mio veron! Già spunta il dì! passar veggo i miei giorni lenti! Il sonno, o Dio! sparì dai miei occhi languenti! Dormirò sol nel manto mio regal quando la mia giornata è giunta a sera, dormirò sol sotto la vôlta nera, là, nell’ avello dell’ Escurial. Se il serto regal a me desse il poter di leggere nei cor, che Dio può sol veder!… Se dorme il prence, veglia il traditore; il serto perde il re, il consorte l’ onore! TRANSLATION: She never loved me! No, her heart is closed to me, she doesn’t love me! I still recall how sad she looked when she saw my white hair the day she arrived from France. No, she does not love me, Where am I? Those candles about to die! Dawn whitens my balcony! The day has begun! I see my days slowly draw out! Sleep, oh God! vanished from my languishing eyes! I will sleep alone, wrapped up in my regal mantle when my day has come to an end, I will sleep alone under the dark vault there, in the tomb in the Escurial. If the royal crown could give me the power to read into the hearts that only God can see! If the Prince sleeps, the traitor is awake; the King loses the crown and the husband his honour! |
