Lyrics and translation Giuseppe Verdi feat. Dame Joan Sutherland, Chorus of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden & Francesco Molinari-Pradelli - Rigoletto / Act 1: "Gualtier Maldè...Caro nome"

Rigoletto / Act 1: "Gualtier Maldè...Caro nome"

Gualtier Maldè, nome di lui sia amato
Ti scolpisci nel cor innamorato

Caro nome che il mio cor festi primo palpitar
Le delizie dell'amor mi dei sempre rammentar
Col pensier il mio desir a te sempre volerà
E fin l'ultimo sospir, caro nome, tuo sarà

Col pensier il mio desir a te sempre volerà
E fin l'ultimo mio sospir, caro nome, tuo sarà

Col pensier il mio desir a te sempre volerà

A te volerà, fin l'ultimo sospir, fin l'ultimo sospir
Caro nome tuo sarà
Caro nome tuo sarà, il mio desir a te ogn'ora volerà
Fin l'ultimo sospiro tuo

Caro l'ultimo sospir volerà

Gualtier Maldè, Gualtier Maldè
Caro nome che il mio cor festi primo palpitar
E fin l'ultimo sospir varo nome tuo sarà
Gualtier Maldè, Gualtier Maldè

Rigoletto / Act 1: "Gualtier Maldè...Caro nome"

Walter Malde, your name I found, my love was lost and now it's found
You have etched yourself my dear, steadfast in my heart you now appear

My dearest name, on hearing you my heart began to beat anew
The joys of love you gave to me, you're always in memory
My thoughts, my dear, to you will fly, with love until the day I die
And with my very final breath, dear name, you'll still be there till death

My thoughts, my dearest, to you will fly, with love until the day I die
And with my final, dying breath, dear name, you'll still be there till death

My thoughts, my dearest, to you will fly, with love until the day I die

Your name will fly, until my very final breath, until my final breath
My dearest, you'll be there till death
My dearest, you'll be there till death, my every thought of you will fly
Until my very final breath is spent

Dearest one, the very final breath will fly

Walter Maldé, Walter Maldé
My dearest name, on hearing you my heart began to beat anew
And with my very final breath my name will still be there till death for you
Walter Maldé, Walter Maldé
