Aurora e Tramonto

| Io
vidi sorgere Questa mattina L'aurora limpida Dalla colina Di roseo vel Vestiva il ciel: Pareami vergin Che va all'altar Come in un'estasi L'alma rapita Pensando al nascere Di questa vita Sclamava allora: Sei bella, Aurora! La vita simile A te m'appar. Poi vidi scendere Gił nella valle La sera pallida Per muto calle. Dalla laguna Vidi la luna Siccome candida Vela nel mar. Mi scosse l'anima Senso pił forte Seu mesta, o sera Dissi in preghiera Allor la morte Simile a te M'appar |
I saw the
sun rise This morning The clear dawning From the hill With a pinkish veil dressing the sky; It appeared like a virgin Going to the altar As if in ecstasy My spirit was carried off Thinking of the birth Of this life I exclaimed then: You are beautiful, sunrise! Life appears to me Similar to you Then I see descend Down the valley The pale evening By its silent path From the lagoon I saw the moon As white As a sail at sea A stronger feeling Roused my spirit You are sad, o evening, I said in prayer Death appears to me Similar to you. |
