Paroles et traduction José Carreras - Mattinata

Mattinata

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 gia' par;
E tu non ti desti, ed invano
Mi sto qui 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.

Commosso da un fremito arcano
Intorno il creato gia' par;
E tu non ti desti, ed invano
Mi sto qui dolente a cantar.

Ove non sei la luce manca;
Ove tu sei nasce l'amor.

Mattinata

The dawn in white is dressed
Already opens the door to the great sun;
Already with its rosy fingers
Caresses the host of flowers!
Moved by a secret thrill,
All of creation already seems to be astir;
And you do not awaken, and in vain
I stand here, grieving, to sing.

You also put on the white dress
And open the door to your singer!
Where you are not, the light is missing;
Where you are, love is born.

Moved by a secret thrill,
All of creation already seems to be astir;
And you do not awaken, and in vain
I stand here, grieving, to sing.

Where you are not, the light is missing;
Where you are, love is born.
