Verdi: Rigoletto / Act 2 - "Parmi veder le lagrime" - Luciano Pavarotti, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Edward Downes

Parmi veder le lagrime

Scorrenti da quel ciglio

Quando fra il dubbio e l’ansia

Del subito periglio

Dell’amor nostro memore

Il suo Gualtier chiamò

Né dei potea soccorrerti

Cara fanciulla amata

Ei che vorria coll’anima

Farti quaggiù beata;

Ei che le sfere agli angeli

Per te non invidiò

I seem to see the tears

Flowing from that edge

When between doubt and anxiety

Of the immediate danger

Of our mindful love

His Gualtier called

Nor could gods help you

Dear beloved girl

He will want it with the soul

Make you blissful down here;

Hey that the spheres to the angels

For you he did not envy
