Apri le luci e mira

Il mio costante affetto

Per te il mio cor sospira

Per te il mio cor sospira, sospira

E non l’inten…

Intendi ancor

Apri le luci e mira

E mira il mio costante affetto

E mira il mio costante affetto

Per te il mio cor sospira

Per te il mio cor sospira

Costa… ante

Costa… ante

Apri le luci e mira

Il mio costante affetto

Per te il mio cor sospira

E non l’intendi ancor

E non l’intendi ancor

E in tacita favella

Co' soli miei sospiri

Ti scopro, oh Dio, la bella

Fia… amma che m’arde il cor

Ti scopro, oh Dio

La bella bella fia… amma

Oh Dio, co' miei sospiri

La bella bella fiamma

Che m’arde, m’arde il cor

Che m’arde, che m’arde il cor

Apri le luci

Apri le luci e mira

Il mio costante affetto

Per te il mio cor sospira

Per te il mio cor sospira, sospira

E non l’inten… intendi ancor

Apri le luci e mira

E mira il mio costante affetto

E mira il mio costante affetto

Per te il mio cor sospira

Per te il mio cor sospira

Costa… ante

Costa… ante

Apri le luci e mira

Il mio costante affetto

Per te il mio cor sospira

E non l’intendi ancor

E non l’intendi ancor

Apri le luci e mira

Il mio costante affetto

Per te il mio cor sospira

E non l’intendi ancor

E in tacita favella

Co' soli miei sospiri

Ti scopro, oh Dio, la bella

Fiamma che m’arde il cor

For you my heart sighs, sighs

You mean again

Open the lights and aim

And aim my constant affection

And aim my constant affection

For you my heart sighs

For you my heart sighs

For you my heart sighs

And you don't mean it yet

And you don't mean it yet

Fia ... amma that my heart burns

I find you, oh God

The beautiful beautiful fia ... amma

Open the lights and aim

And aim my constant affection

And aim my constant affection

For you my heart sighs

For you my heart sighs

For you my heart sighs

And you don't mean it yet

And in silent speech

With only my sighs

I find you, oh God, the beautiful

Flame that burns my heart
