lagu: Che Gelida Manina (how cold your little hand is!)
Che gelida manina! se la lasci riscaldar.
How cold your little hand is! will you let me warm it for you?
Cercar che giova? al buio non si trova.
Why bother looking? it’s dark, and we won’t find it.
Ma per fortuna e una notte di luna,
It’s our good luck, though, this night’s filled with moonlight,
E qui la luna l’abbiiamo vicina.
Up here the moonlight could rest on our shoulders.
Aspetti, signorina, le diro con due parole chi son,
Please wait, my dear young lady, and I will quickly tell you
Chi son, e che faccio, come vivo, vuole?
Who stands before you, and what I do,
Chi son? chi son? son un poeta.
Who am i? what am i? I am a poet.
Che cosa faccio? scrivo. e come vivo? vivo.
What keeps me busy? writing! and what do I live on? nothing!
In poverta mia lieta scialo da gran signore
In poverty I’m cheerful, I am a prince who squanders
Rimi ed inni d’amore.
Arias and couplets of longing.
Per sogni e per chimere e per castelli in aria
And as for hopes and dreams of love and castles-in-the-air,
L’anima ho milionaria.
Miss, I am a millionaire!
Talor del mio forziere ruban tutti
My fortress could be broken in, robbed clean of the fine jewels
I gioielle due ladri: gli occhi belli.
I store; if the theives were eyes like yours.
V’entrar con voi pur ora ed I miei sogni usati,
And now that I have seen you, all of my lovely dreaming,
Ed I bei sogni miei tosto si dileguar!
All of the sweetest dreams I’ve dreamt, quickly have slipped away.
Ma il furto non m’accora poiche,
This theft does not upset me, because such treasures
Poiche v’ha preso stanza la speranza.
Mean nothing now that I’m rich with sweet hope!
Or che mi conoscete parlate voi.
And now that you have met me, I ask you please,
Deh parlate. chi siete? vi piaccia dir?
Tell me, lady, who you are, I ask you please!

Tu pure, o Principessa,
You too, O Princess!
nella tua fredda stanza
in your chaste room
guardi le stelle

che tremano d’amore e di speranza.

Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me,
But my secret lies hidden within me,
il nome mio nessun sapra!

No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diro’

quando la luce splendera’!
when daylight shines forth
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà
and my kiss shall break
che ti fa mia!

All’alba vincero’!

Tramontate, stelle!
At dawn I shall win!
