Vincenzo Bellini:
Dolente immagine di Fille mia
Dolente immagine di Fille mia,
Perchè sì squallida mi siedi accanto?
Che più desideri?
Dirotto pianto
Io sul tuo cenere versai finor.
Temi che immemore de' sacri giuri
Io possa accendermi ad altra face?
Ombra di Fillide, riposa in pace;
È inestinguibile l'antico ardor.
Ruggiero Leoncavallo
Mattinata
L'Aurora, di bianco vestita,
Già l'uscio dischiude al gran sol,
Di già con le rose sue dita
Carezza de' fiori lo stuol
Commosso da un fremito arcano
Intorno il creato già par,
E tu non ti desti, ed in vano
Mi sto qui dolente a cantar.
Metti anche tu la veste bianca
e schiudi l'uscio al tuo cantor!
Ove non sei la luce manca,
Ove tu sei nasce l'amor! etc.
Sad image of my Fille
Sad image of my Fille
Why are you so miserable beside me?
What more do you desire?
Copious tears
I have poured upon your ashes up to now.
Do you fear that, forgetful of the sacred vows,
I could be ignited to another flame?
Spirit of Fillide, rest in peace;
The old passion is inextinguishable
The dawn, dressed in white,
has already opened the door to the sun,
and with pink fingers
caresses the myriads with flowers.
A mysterious trembling seems
to disturb all nature,
yet you will not get up, and vainly
I stand here sadly and sing.
Dress yourself, too, in white
and open the door to your serenader!
Where you are not, all is dark,
where you are, love is born!

Gabriel Fauré:
Nell
Ta rose de pourpre à ton clair soleil,
O Juin, étincelle enivrée,
Penche aussi vers moi ta coupe dorée:
Mon coeur à ta rose est pareil.
Sous le mol abri de la feuille ombreuse
Monte soupir de volupté;
Plus d'un ramier chante au bois écarté,
O mon coeur, sa plainte amoureuse.
Que ta perle est douce au ciel enflammé,
Etoile de la nuit pensive!
Mais combien plus douce est la clarté vive
Qui rayonne en mon coeur,
en mon coeur charmé!
La chantante mer, le long du rivage,
Taira son murmure éternel,
Avant qu'en mon coeur, chère amour, ô Nell,
Ne fleurisse plus ton image!
Autômne
Autômne au ciel brumeux, aux' horizons
navrants,
Aux rapides couchants, aux aurores palies,
Je regarde couler comme l'eau du torrent,
Tes jours faits de mélancolie.
Sur l'aile des regret, mes esprits emportés,
Comme s'il se pouvait que notreâge renaisse,
Parcourent en rêvant les coteaux encahntés,
Où, jadis, sourit ma jeunesse!
Je sens au clair soleil du souvenir vainqueur,
Refleurir en bouquet les roses deliées,
Et monter à mes yeux des larmes, qu'en mon
coeur
Mes vingt ans avainent oubliées!
Your purple rose is your brilliant sun,
Oh June, sparkles as if intoxicated,
Bend toward me, too, your golden cup:
My heart and your rose are alike.
Under the soft shelter of shady boughs
Sounds a voluptuous sigh;
And turtle doves coo in the spreading wood,
Oh my heart, their amorous lament.
How sweet is your pearl in the flaming sky,
Star of the pensive night!
But sweeter still is the vivid light
Which shines in my heart,
my charmed heart!
The singing sea, along the shore,
Will silence its everlasting murmur,
'Ere in my heart, dear love, oh Nell,
Your image will cease to bloom!
Autumn of misty skies, of heart-rending
horizons,
Of hasty sunsets, of pale dawns,
I see flowing like the waters of a torrent,
Your days are filled with melancholy.
My thoughts, carried away on wings of regret,
As if our lifetime could be reborn,
Roam dreaming through the enchanted hills,
Where, in days gone by, my youth delighted!
I feel in the bright sunlight of triumphant recollections,
The scattered roses blooming again in a bouquet,
And I feel tears rising to my eyes, which in my
heart
My twenty years had forgotten!
