Lyrics

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

Una furtiva lagrima
Negl'occhi suoi spunto:
Quelle festose giovani
Invidiar sembro
Che piu cercando io vo?
Che piu cercando io vo?
M'ama, si m'ama, lo vedo, lo vedo
Un solo instante I palpiti
Del suo bel cor sentir!
I miei sospir, confondere
Per poco a' suoi sospir!
I palpiti, I palpiti sentir
Confondere I miei coi suoi sospir
Cielo, si puo morir!
Di piu non chiedo, non chiedo
Ah! cielo, si puo, si puo morir
Di piu non chiedo, non chiedo
Si puo morir, si puo morir d'amor

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!
