Mattinata (From "The Student Prince") - Mario Lanza, Руджеро Леонкавалло

L’aurora di bianco vestita

Gia l’uscio dischiude al gran sol;

Di gia con le rosee sue dita

Carezza de' fiori lo stuol

Commosso da un fremito arcano

Intorno il creato già par;

E tu non ti desti, ed invano

Mi sto quit dolente a cantar

Metti anche tu la veste bianca

E schiudi l’uscio al tuo cantor!

Ove non sei la luce manca

Ove tu sei nasce l’amor

Ove non sei la luce manca

Ove non sei la luce manca

Ove tu sei nasce l’amor

The dawn dressed in white

Already the door opens to the great sun;

Already with his rosy fingers

The stuol caress the flowers

Moved by an arcane thrill

Around the creation already par;

And you did not wake up, and in vain

I'm sore quit singing

Put on the white robe too

And open the door to your cantor!

Where you are not the light is missing

Where you are, love is born

Where you are not the light is missing

Where you are not the light is missing

Where you are, love is born
