Quando Le Sere Al Placido

Oh! If I could deny my eyes!
If heaven to earth, if mortals to angels
Wanted to prove to me that she is not guilty
You lie! I should answer, all of you lie
Her actions are clear!
Such treachery! A soul so dark!
So deceitful! Her father knew her well!
But then the vows, the hopes, the joy
The tears, the anguish?
Everything is falsehood, betrayal, deceit!

When the evenings are peaceful
Brightness of a starry sky
She would fix her gaze with mine
In the ether, with a loving look
And she would hold my hand

I felt her hand in mine
And she would hold my hand
I felt her hand in mine

Ah! Ah! Ah! She betrayed me!
Ah! She betrayed me!
Then, as I, mute and ecstatic
Hung on her lips
And she, in angelic sound
I love, I love only you, she said
So that it seemed the heavens
Opened to my soul!
In angelic sound
I love only you, she said

Ah! Ah! Ah! She betrayed me!
Ah! She betrayed me!
Ah! She betrayed me!
She betrayed me!
In angelic sound
I love you, she said
Ah! She betrayed me!
