Michael Bolton Una furtiva lagrima Letra

(l'elisir d'amore)(one tear that falls so furtively)

Una furtiva lagrima

Negli occhi suoi spunto:

Quelle festosee giovani

Invidiar sembro.

Che piu cercando io vo?

M'ama, lo vedo.

Un solo instante I palpiti

Del suo bel cor sentir!

I miei sospir, confondere

Per poco a' suoi sospir!

Cielo, si puo morir!

Di piu non chiedo.

Synopses

Nemorino is in love with a wealthy girl, but she says she

Isn't interested in poor boys like him. desperate, he buys a 'love

Potion' that only turns out to be cheap red wine. and yet, nemorino

Believes the 'elixir' will work. when he sees her cry, he knows she

Has fallen for him at last.

English translation

One tear that falls so furtively

From her sweet eyes has just sprung,

As if she envied all the youths

Who laughingly passed her right by.

What could I want more than this?

She loves me! I see it.

One moment just to hear her heart,

Beating so close next to mine,

To hear my sighs like they were hers,

Her sighings as if they were mine!

Heavens, please take me now:

All that I wanted is mine now!
