La fioraia fiorentina - Jennifer Larmore, Dalton Baldwin, Arleen Augér

I più bei fior comprate

Fanciulli, amanti e spose:

Son fresche le mie rose

Non spiran che l’amor

Ahime!

Soccorso implora

Mia madre, poveretta

E da me sola aspetta

Del pan e non dell’or

The most beautiful flowers you buy

Children, lovers and brides:

My roses are fresh

Only love expires

Alas!

Relief begs

My mother, poor thing

And from me alone she waits

Of the pan and not of the hour
