La sonnambula “Ah, non credea mirarti... Ah! non giunge”
Ah, I didn’t believe I’d see you
dead so quickly, oh flowers!
You have faded away just like love,
which only lasted a day.
Maybe my tears could
Bring you new life,
but my tears cannot revive love.
Ah, human thought can’t manage
(To grasp) the depth of my happiness:
I can barely believe my own senses;
you do trust me, oh my treasure!
Ah, embrace me and, always together,
always united in a single hope,
from this world in which we live
we shall form a heaven of love.
