Una furtiva lagrima
neglocchi suoi spunt.
Quelle festose giovani
invidiar sembr.
Che pi cercando io vo?
Mama, lo vedo.
Un solo istante i palpiti
del suo bel cor sentir.
I miei sospir confondere
per poco a suoi sospir.
Cielo, si pu morir;
di pi non chiedo.
A secret tear
in her eyes welled.
Those happy girls
she seemed to envy.
What more do I want to look for?
She loves me; I see it.
For a single instant, the beats
of her beautiful heart to feel.
My sighs to mix,
for a while, with her sighs.
Heavens, I could die;
I ask for no more.
