LYRICS:
D'amor sull' ali rosee
vanne, sospir dolente:
del prigioniero misero
conforta l' egra mente...
Com' aura di speranza
aleggia in quella stanza:
lo desta alle memorie,
ai sogni dell'amor!
Ma deh! non dirgli improvvido,
le pene del mio cor!
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
On the rosy wings of love,
go, pained sighs:
go to alleviate the sick mind
of the wretch that lies imprisoned...
Like a breeze of hope
linger in that room:
wake him up to remembrance,
to dreams of love!
Yet do not imprudently
reveal the woes of my heart!
